Most people would agree that working toward a goal with someone rather than alone makes success a little easier. In fact, research shows that when a couple works together toward a health goal, they are three times more likely to be successful.
When we see a couple enter our office seeking bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) at Advanced Hormone Therapy, we’re excited for them individually and as a couple. In fact, we strongly encourage couples to attend a consultation together.
Allow me to explain. While hormone replacement therapy stems from a desire to improve health, a couple’s overall relationship can benefit as well. Frankly, when you take away symptoms that are making each person miserable, then interest in each other and the relationship sparks.
A couple’s decision to pursue BHRT starts with a conversation. Both partners must be interested in improving the relationship. Each person plays their part in the process while being careful not to put the blame or burden upon one person.
You both need to be ready for some exciting benefits that include the following:
- Brings the Couple Closer – Sharing an important experience in an open manner improves your connection. Where there may have been distance before that gap can be filled with increased desire to be with each other and rekindle your relationship.
- Improves Communication – Since you’re both going through the process, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss progress and celebrate improvements.
- Reinforces Belief in Each Other – Every bit of open communication, caring and encouragement fosters a feeling of being supported.
- Improves Satisfaction in the Relationship – When both people feel better, everything seems better. You may take more walks, have energy to be interested in your favorite activities, and everyone’s libido is in sink.
As I’ve said before, my wife and I decided to do hormone therapy together. We were Empty Nesters and had a new season of life ahead of us. It was an opportunity to restore our energy toward our health and our relationship. Now, we have the energy and desire to go out more often and have more date nights, or stay in for a more intimate exchange. Our relationship is evidence that it was the right decision for us.
Couples can look forward to a time when they will feel physically and emotionally awake. When some of our patients admit that their efforts and commitment to the process literally saved their relationship, we could not be happier. When couples attend their consultation together, they get the most out of the experience. We encourage it and welcome it.
If you believe you and your partner or spouse may benefit from BHRT at Advanced Hormone Therapy in Reno, NV, please call us at 1-775-229-8683 to discuss your needs and to set up an appointment. You deserve to feel great. Let’s make that happen, together.
