Women’s Hormonal Cycle – Relationships

This is very important for the men and women listening.

Dr. Gray explains the two categories of a woman’s hormonal cycle, Premenopausal and Postmenopausal. He tells us how it changes the shape of a relationship during each timeframe and tips on how to react.

He also touches base on how good anticipation of an event (a date night for example) produces more hormones than the actual event.

Also: Meditation, Yoga, and likeminded activities are extremely helpful in balancing our hormones.

What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received?

From his wife: How to properly hug and hold hands. A good 3 to 6 second hug helps release a surge of oxytocin. This helps in lowering the testosterone levels in a woman’s body and increases their estrogen levels. A recommended 4 hugs a day is very helpful and soothing for a relationship.
