Do you sometimes find it impossible to understand your partner? You're not alone. Many people feel the same way – as if nothing they do is right. But there are things you can do to improve your relationship.
Take action:
Forget what you see in the movies and on TV. Reality is very far from this idealised presentation of relationships.

Read books, see a marriage counsellor, make time for each other and do some fun things together.
