Can I Get Pregnant at 55?

You can get pregnant at 55, but it's not as simple as just putting on a condom and hoping for the best. There are steps you need to take in order for that fertility-boosting magic to work its magic on your body. First off, if you're planning on trying for a baby with your husband or partner, make sure both of your partners are fully aware of what they're getting into before starting any kind of treatment. This includes any medication or supplements that may have effects on fertility levels (especially those used during menopause). It's also important that both partners go through counseling together so that there aren't any hidden expectations about having children after age 55; this will help ensure everyone stays honest about their feelings throughout the process. If neither party is interested in having children right now—or even later down the line—don't worry: there are plenty more ways we can enjoy our sex lives during menopause!

How often do married couples over 50 make love?

Most couples over 50 have sex once a week, according to a survey by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University. In fact, the most popular frequency for married people is once or twice a week—and those who are happy with their marriage report having sex more frequently than those who are unhappy in theirs.

Why do wives stop being intimate?

What's the cause? The answer is simple. Hormones. During menopause, your body starts to make less estrogen and more testosterone. This can cause mood swings and irritability that affect your sex drive, but it's not all bad news! In fact, there are many benefits to having a low libido (which you may experience as a result of hormonal changes during menopause). The most common reason for this is boredom—not the kind where you don't have enough things going on in life or feel like doing anything at all; rather it means feeling like there aren't any new things happening in your relationship or marriage anymore either because both partners are aging together without any signs of change happening between them physically or emotionally since no one else has entered into their lives since starting out together as newlyweds back then when everything was still fresh and exciting after being married just three years ago when they were young adults living together first before moving into their current home together twenty years later now with children who've grown up with them around so much longer than before so perhaps those memories aren’t quite as vivid anymore either which could explain why maybe some couples might find themselves asking themselves "Why am I still here?"

Menopause and sexless marriage

As a woman in her 50s, I understand that sex is not always easy and not always satisfying. But I also know that there are many reasons why couples avoid intimacy, and we need to take care of ourselves as well. If you’re married and your relationship has become a sexless marriage, here are some things to think about:

What Causes a Sexless Marriage?

If your sex life has fallen off, it’s not the end of the world. There are many reasons why couples stop having sex, including stress, illness, and medications. However, if you’re simply experiencing a drop-off in desire or interest in your partner’s company—or even just something else that would normally make you feel excited about spending time with him or her—it doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. In fact, there are plenty of healthy reasons for feeling this way:

Your hormones may be making you feel less intimate than usual due to PMS symptoms;
You might have injured yourself recently (and won’t want to risk further injury);
You could be suffering from depression or anxiety disorders that cause lackluster emotions overall;

What to Do if Your Partner Refuses to Go to Couples Counseling?

If you and your partner are both willing to go, couples counseling can be an effective therapy for dealing with the issues that come up during this period. You may find it helpful to consider booking a session once or twice a week if you live far away from each other and need access to each other regularly.

If you’re in a sexless marriage, however, there’s no reason why anyone should be giving up on their relationship. It may take some time for things to improve—but as long as both parties are committed and willing to work through any issues that arise during this transitional period in life (and beyond), then there’s no reason why things can’t get better!

Can menopause cause a sexless marriage?

While it’s true that menopause is a natural part of aging, it shouldn’t be the cause of a sexless marriage. Menopause can contribute to a lack of desire in your partner and lead to vaginal dryness, which makes sex painful. If you’re experiencing these symptoms or if they’re getting worse with age (which happens), talk to your doctor about them!

How Can I Relieve my Partner’s Menopausal Symptoms?

Ask your partner what they need.
Offer to help them with their symptoms.
If you are not sure what to do, ask the doctor or nurse at the hospital. They will probably recommend seeing a specialist who can offer more advice and treatment options than just taking over-the-counter medicine (which may only mask symptoms).

How do you mentally survive a sexless marriage?

The answer is: it’s complicated. One of the most important things to remember is that there are no guarantees when it comes to sex, so don’t count on anything. And if your partner doesn’t want to go to couples counseling, don’t pressure them into it—that’s something you should work out together as a couple and decide what’s best for both of you. But even if your partner does want help from a professional therapist or counselor (and I hope they do), there are still ways for both of you to deal with this issue together without feeling alone or unloved by one another.

Do couples divorce because of menopause?

It’s true that menopause can cause a sexless marriage, but it can also cause other problems. Menopause is typically a time when women feel less sexual desire, which might result in her husband losing interest in sex and cheating on her, or vice versa.

There are plenty of reasons why this happens: physical symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and night sweats; hormonal imbalances caused by fluctuations in estrogen levels; low moods due to sleep deprivation or anxiety disorders; changes in libido (sexual desire) caused by aging bodies—the list goes on!

A sexless marriage can be a very tough and lonely place. But you don’t have to stay there.

You can’t make your partner want to have sex with you. And if that’s what you’re thinking, think again.

You can’t force your partner to go on dates or sleep in the same bed with you and talk about the problem all night long. That doesn’t work either! The only way out of this mess is for both of you to look inside yourself at what needs changing in order for things to change for good—and then take action toward those changes together as a couple (or not).

If one person starts taking steps toward change while the other remains stagnant or even resists making any changes at all? Well then there’s no way back from where we stand right now: An unhappy marriage full of resentment and frustration—and maybe even divorce proceedings looming over our heads!

Conclusion

If you’re in a sexless marriage, don’t give up on your partner and yourself. You have to remember that being intimate with someone is about giving, not taking. And that’s what love is all about! The next time you find yourself feeling frustrated, try to remember that it’s not about you or your partner. It’s about both of you and your relationship.
