Do you sometimes find it impossible to understand your partner? You're not alone. Many men feel the same way – as if nothing they do is right. But there are things you can do to improve your relationship.

Step 1.
Forget what you see in the movies and on TV. That is not the real world. Reality is very far from this idealised presentation of relationships that the media would like you to believe. In real life, partners or spouses or you sometimes pick up weight, become like their parents, have affairs, are unreasonable and selfish, spend your money or pack their bags and leave. But they can also be kind, considerate, loving, entertaining, supportive and wonderful. Sometimes even better than you see on TV – and it's for real.

Step 2.
Find a way to communicate with your partner. Read books, see a marriage counsellor (consult your local FAMSA branch), make time for each other and do some fun things together.

Step 3.
Improve your sex life. Once again, communication is important here. But there is also the physical side of things. Visit our Sexuality Zone for a range of interesting articles on sex and sexual relationships.

Step 4.
Post a question to Health24's Urologist if you think you may have a physical problem of some sort.
