How's your romantic life? Hot as fire or cold as ice? Whether you are a man or woman, there are a few guidelines to help you keep your relationship going.

"Everything drives me a crazy about a man, good and bad," said a woman.

It's a fact, men and women can drive each other crazy. Some women complain their man just doesn't know how to listen.

"He listens, just not sure how much he absorbs," said a woman in a relationship.

Meghan Lemery, LCSW-R, Psychotherapist said, “Men are immediate fixers, they want to fix things. When you are talking about a problem you are going through or have a bad day, the man in your life is going to immediately give you suggestions to correct the problem and that can be infuriating to women."

A little bit of advice for men, just listen a bit more.

'Take a step back and listen. It's also important as a woman to express your needs clearly. If your husband tells you how to fix the problem and you need him to listen stop him and let him know, ‘I really appreciate your suggestions but right now what would be supportive is to just having you listen to me’," said Lemery.

What women do to drive a man crazy?

"The number one complaint I hear from men is, she's always telling me what to do or it's never good enough," said Lemery.

"They walk by the full garbage a hundred times and still throw something in there and there is no consideration," said a woman in a relationship.

Nagging tops the list of what not to do.

Lemery said, "I tell women, communicate with your man in your life like a GPS system, be direct and clear and if the message isn't going through, recalculate.”

Often time’s relationships get disconnected because of the lack of time spent together, while other things get in the way, other priorities. Keep your relationship going and put it at the top of the list.

"You need to be proactive about taking take time in your relationship instead of reactive. Don't wait until you feel disconnected or when your feel vulnerable, make time every week,” said Lemery.
