Abstract	Menopause is a normal life transition that causes significant physical and psychological changes, which frequently affect women's overall well-being. During this stage, family and spousal support are critical in shaping women's experiences and coping strategies. This study explores the impact of family and spousal support on the well-being of menopausal women, with an emphasis on the emotional, social, and practical aspects of support. Using a descriptive and analytical method, the study demonstrates how strong family connections, understanding from spouses, and shared responsibilities help to minimise stress, anxiety, and emotional instability. The findings indicate that women who receive regular assistance had better psychological adjustment, improved self-esteem, and a higher quality of life. In contrast, insufficient support has a connection to higher emotional suffering and a negative view of menopause. The study emphasises the necessity of raising awareness among family members, particularly husbands, regarding menopausal symptoms and the need for empathy and care. Strengthening family support systems through education and counselling can improve women's health and allow them to view menopause as a time of growth and acceptance.
