I grew up believing that good girls don't like sex. Now, I find it difficult to be open with my husband about intimacy. I never take the lead, and I'm sure I'm missing out. How can I fix this?

I’ve had several longish relationships, but they’ve all run into difficulties. Am I just unlucky, or are men much more difficult to cope with these days?

Everyone says the internet is the best place to find a date, but I’ve only had bad experiences with the men I’ve met online. So, I’d like to start meeting people in real life. Where do I begin?

I’d love to get married, but so many marriages seem unhappy. How does anyone find a spouse who’ll be a lifelong friend?

I have a terrible temper and I get angry all the time. It gets me into trouble at work all the time, but it’s just who I am. What can I do about it?

I thought my friends were the perfect couple. So I was completely taken aback when they broke up after being together for so many years. Why do seemingly stable relationships suddenly collapse?

Some of my exes have been deeply disappointing in bed! So, how can I tell if a new boyfriend will be good in bed?

Teenagers are perfectly aware of the dangers but play them down, stressing the positive aspects like fun, the shared experience and the thrill of breaking the rules

I always seem to be in low spirits. This doesn’t stop me from leading a normal life, but it makes everything feel harder and less worthwhile. How can I feel better?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for a long time. But something’s not quite right. There’s nothing obvious like mistrust or arguments, but I sense there’s trouble ahead. Why do I feel this way?

A highly conscientious husband will be hard-working and well-organised. He will be self-controlled and successful in his career

The behaviours that indicate you’re interested in a guy are generated by your subconscious, so they’re quite genuine, especially if you’re shy and find it difficult to express your feelings

You listen to each other and can share your thoughts honestly without criticising each other. You resolve arguments without tearing each other apart
