Men, Midlife, & Menopause
An 8-Week Relationship Reset for Men
Who Feel Intimacy Slipping Away
You’re likely living with:
-
Sex isn’t just less frequent, if at all, it feels like you’re no longer wanted.
-
You’re turning inward — porn, work, silence — because it hurts less than asking again.
-
No matter which role you try (Nice Guy, Fixer, Controller, or Avoider) you still end up wrong.
-
You feel invisible. Like what’s happening to her matters, but what’s happening to you doesn’t.
-
You love your partner, but you don’t love how she’s showing up, and you don’t know how to say that without becoming the villain.
-
You don’t want to leave, but you also don’t know how to keep living in a marriage that feels emotionally and sexually closed.
-
And underneath all of it is a quiet fear:
“Is this my new normal? Is this what the rest of my life looks like?”
In this 8-week program, you’ll learn to:
🔥 Break the patterns that make good men shut down, withdraw, or fight the wrong battle
🔥 Hold steady in hard conversations without collapsing into blame or defensiveness
🔥 Carry the fire of purpose, direction, and steadiness through midlife’s upheaval
🔥 Restore intimacy through courage, presence, and emotional awareness
🔥 Show up as a partner who doesn’t run, hide, or point fingers when the fire rises
🔥 Stop the slow drift toward resentment, distance, or becoming roommates
🔥 Craft a King’s Code that defines the man you choose to be—no matter the storm
To the man who’s been holding it all together while silently falling apart: I see you.
You’re shouldering responsibilities no one talks about. Navigating your partner’s menopause. Wrestling with your own changes. Questioning your worth, power, and purpose.
I’ve walked that path. I tried to "fix," or "solve," or use "logic" with my wife who didn't need or want them. I knew it but I didn't have any other tools, so I played the victim. I numbed out. I became angry and defensive...and nearly lost everything.
This isn’t a “fix your marriage” program. It’s not tricks or hacks. This is about becoming an even better version of yourself. Maturing that young man that lives within the older body that you see when you look in the mirror.
– Mark J. Platten
THE MAN YOU’VE BEEN IS NO LONGER ENOUGH
Not because you’re a failure.
But because you’re being invited to evolve.
The arguments, the distance, the loneliness… they’re not just problems. They’re warnings.
If nothing changes, you know where this road leads:
-
A marriage that slowly dies in silence
-
A blow-up that leaves you starting over midlife
-
The temptation to be out of integrity and stray in your relationship
-
Or a version of you that keeps shrinking until there’s nothing left
This is the crossroads every man in a midlife relationship must face.
And the truth is, you can’t wait this out. You can’t fix it with willpower or avoidance. What your relationship needs now is not a “fix.”
This is the moment that forges your next identity.
This is an invitation to your initiation. A return to your sovereignty, integrity, and inner fire.
The Questions You Don’t Say Out Loud
Most men carry thoughts like these in silence:
-
What will others think of me? I should be able to handle this.
-
Everyone else has this figured out. What’s wrong with me?
-
What if the problem really is me, and I can’t fix it?
-
What if the sex and intimacy doesn't get better?
-
This has been going on for so long, what if this is my life? What if it doesn't get better?
-
Why has she changed so much? I don't recognize her.
-
Why can’t she appreciate me? I haven't changed.
-
Maybe it’d be easier to walk away and start over.
If you’ve had thoughts like these, you’re not alone. The truth is, without guidance, you’ll keep falling back on the same tools that aren’t working.
The Lone Wolf Myth
It’s time to put away the “lone wolf” idea so many of us (myself included) were raised with.
Men don’t grow in isolation. We grow when we are sharpened by others, when we’re held accountable, challenged to rise higher, and reminded of who we are capable of being.
This is the power of Men Who Walk Through Fire, a container where men walk this road together, becoming better husbands, fathers, and leaders.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You need to be willing.
Men who step onto this path:
✓ Stop taking her reactions personally
✓ Communicate in a way she can actually receive
✓ Rebuild trust and safety: emotionally and physically
✓ Reclaim their confidence, purpose, and fire
✓ Bring back intimacy without pressure or neediness
✓ Lead the relationship with strength, maturity, and calmness
✓ Show up in ways that make her feel seen, not judged
✓ Create the emotional climate where connection can return
Her initiation through menopause will end. If met with your own initiation, it will open the pathway for the most fulfilling years of your relationship. I'm living it! But you must meet her transformation with your own.
The 8-Week Journey
Week 1: The Mirror Between You
You begin by taking a clear-eyed look at where you are now: with yourself, in relationship, and how you’re showing up. This week builds awareness without blame, setting a foundation for honest growth.
Week 2: Prince Patterns → King’s Responsibility
Learn to recognize the immature patterns (avoidance, fixing, defensiveness) that keep you stuck. Instead of shaming yourself, you’ll begin practicing new ways of responding with steadiness, presence, and responsibility.
Week 3: Her Fire, Your Forge
Menopause and andropause are both fire, but fire can refine as much as it can burn. This week gives you tools to meet her changes without taking them personally, while using your own transition as a forge for strength.
Week 4: Conflict Without Collateral Damage
Disagreements don’t have to tear your relationship apart. Learn how to argue for understanding, not victory, and how to pause, reset, and repair before things spiral out of control.
Week 5: Rebuilding Intimacy Without Pressure
Intimacy shifts in midlife. This week helps you rebuild emotional closeness and physical connection with respect and tenderness, removing the pressure and expectation that kill desire.
Week 6: Emotional Maturity and Responsibility
Instead of exploding or shutting down, you’ll learn to contain, regulate, and express your emotions in a way that builds trust. This is where you begin embodying the steady, grounded presence of a King.
Week 7: The Trustworthy Man
Words don’t rebuild trust, consistent action does. This week you’ll learn how to align what you say with what you do, creating a sense of safety and dependability your partner can feel.
Week 8: The Return Home
In the final week, you’ll create your King’s Code: a personal compass you can live by. This is your declaration of the man you are becoming, and a roadmap to keep you aligned long after the program ends.
