In "For The Guys - Traumatic Transitions," Dr. Al Stone uses Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 to frame six key transitions in a wife’s life that husbands must navigate:
- Leaving home,
- Having children,
- Empty nests,
- Menopause,
- Grandchildren
- Retirement.
He emphasizes understanding and supporting her through these changes—each a season with unique emotional and physical challenges—drawing from personal experiences like his daughters’ marriages and his wife’s menopause. Al urges husbands to communicate, adapt, and plan (especially for retirement security), fostering a stronger marriage by prioritizing her needs through life’s inevitable shifts.
