Menopause Marriage
Julie and Jason were happily married for 27 years. But Julie’s experience of going through menopause nearly tore them apart. Can time in the wild help get their spark back?
Yorkshire couple Julie and Jason were happily married for 27 years. However, five years ago, Julie started going through perimenopause and menopause, which changed everything. She had no idea why she suddenly felt so different about her relationship. The couple began constantly fighting, and she even left him on several occasions.
Now she is getting the correct medical treatment for her symptoms, it’s time to repair the hurt caused by five years of hostility and unkindness. The couple take on a problem-solving challenge to see how they work together, before Bear sets them a rescue mission - to keep an ember alight while gathering fuel for a signal fire.
Relationship therapist Simone talks to them about the hurt they have experienced and encourages them to rekindle the spark they once shared. Can they break the negative patterns they have fallen into? Or is it too late to undo the damage?
