What happens when the woman you love suddenly turns into a human furnace... and the thermostat becomes a hostage?
Welcome to menopause - from the man's side of the bed.
Cold Feet & Hot Tempers is a laugh-out-loud, deeply relatable survival guide for men navigating one of the most confusing, emotional, and surprisingly intimate phases of marriage: menopause.
Written with humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, this book takes readers inside the daily realities men are rarely warned about:
Hot flashes that strike without mercy
Mood swings that defy logic
Thermostat wars with no winners
Sleepless nights, emotional fog, snack diplomacy, and the mysterious power of fans
But this isn't just a comedy.
Beneath the jokes is a powerful message about partnership, patience, and love that grows deeper when life gets uncomfortable. This book shows men how to:
Support without fixing
Listen without defending
Love without taking things personally
Stay present when things feel uncertain
Written by Dave Payne, a husband who lived through the chaos with humor and humility, alongside Amber Pennock, who brings the authentic lived experience of menopause, this book offers both validation and guidance - without medical jargon or lectures.
If you've ever wondered:
"Why is it freezing and boiling at the same time?"
"Did I say something wrong... again?"
"How do I help without making it worse?"
This book is for you.
Funny, honest, and unexpectedly moving, Cold Feet & Hot Tempers reminds couples that menopause isn't something you survive alone - it's something you grow through together.
Bring snacks. Keep a fan nearby. And laugh your way through the heat.
