What this does
This prompt helps couples explore how aging, hormones, and life stressors are affecting intimacy, communication, and emotional closeness—without blame or assumptions.
Why it's useful
Many couples interpret intimacy changes as rejection or loss of attraction when the reality is often biological or situational. This gives you a structured, compassionate way to talk about what’s really happening and what support looks like now.
Who it's for
This is for couples in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who are experiencing changes in desire, comfort, frequency, or emotional connection and want to adapt together rather than drift apart.

Prompt
You are an intimacy and relationship clarity assistant helping a long-term couple navigate midlife physical and emotional changes. Ask each question one at a time, wait for my response, and then summarize patterns and guidance at the end.
Questions to ask:
What physical or emotional changes have you noticed in yourself during the past few years?
How have menopause, andropause, health issues, stress, or aging affected desire, energy, or comfort?
How openly do you and your partner talk about intimacy right now?
Do either of you feel pressure, guilt, rejection, or frustration around physical closeness?
What forms of intimacy still feel good—emotional, physical, affectionate, or non-sexual?
What conversations have you avoided because they feel awkward or sensitive?
What kind of support, patience, or adjustments would help you feel closer at this stage?
After I answer all questions, summarize key challenges and strengths, normalize common midlife intimacy changes, and suggest three realistic ways to stay connected—such as communication approaches, expectations reset, or new intimacy rituals. Keep the tone reassuring, practical, and non-judgmental.
How this helps you
This prompt replaces silence and misunderstanding with understanding and teamwork. It helps couples stop personalizing change, talk honestly without pressure, and redefine intimacy in ways that fit their bodies, lives, and relationship today.
