Introdução: Com o objetivo de compreender a influência do climatério/menopausa no relacionamento conjugal realizou-se um estudo descritivo simples recorrendo à pesquisa empírica e aplicação de escalas de autopreenchimento para avaliar a satisfação em áreas da vida conjugal em 116 casais residentes na região de Lisboa (Portugal), cujas mulheres se encontravam no climatério. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o programa SPPS 19 e análise de conteúdo das questões abertas. Resultados: indicam que todas as dimensões da satisfação em áreas da vida conjugal apresentam valores satisfatórios, os homens apresentam uma perceção mais positiva do casamento e a satisfação conjugal diminui com a idade, variando com o tempo de conjugalidade; dos discursos sobressaem a comunicação, a negociação, a aceitação desta fase com naturalidade e a sexualidade como fatores considerados importantes na dinâmica conjugal e no relacionamento do casal. Conclusão: não podemos afirmar que a transição para a menopausa seja o único motivo a interferir no relacionamento conjugal. É preciso aprender a viver esta fase da vida com qualidade e bem-estar. Os profissionais de saúde precisam de investir mais na promoção da saúde e apoio às mulheres e casais a vivenciarem esta etapa da vida.

Conclusion: despite of the differences in marital satisfaction as a function of age group, we cannot affirm that the transition to menopause is the only reason interfering in the marital relationship.
