Understanding Hormonal Influences in Relationships

Hormones play a significant role in influencing behavior in relationships. Knowing the partner's menstrual cycle can help navigate interactions effectively, with specific recommendations for different cycle phases. For instance, between days 2 and 12 of the cycle, conflicts can be resolved effectively as estrogen levels peak around ovulation. Understanding these cycles fosters empathy and prevents misconceptions about mood swings or emotional responses in partners.
