Men act romantic when relationships wanes
19 November 2007
Men are more likely to act romantically and undertake loving gestures when their relationship is struggling, according to a new study.
The Relationships Australia survey of 1,200 adults discovered that men cooking a meal or leaving a note for their partners could be seen as a sign that they wanted to get their issues out in the open, reports the Herald Sun.

Michael Burge, relationship psychologist, said: "Mars and Venus are alive and well. It is important that we do accept there are differences between men and women," he said.
"While a man might want to go into his cave if there are relationship problems, a woman often wants to talk things through."
If a relationship was going badly 33 per cent of women would spend time with their partners to remedy it compared to only 23 per cent of men.
Women were also more likely to discuss their relationship with outsiders.
Some 88 per cent of respondents felt there relationships were experiencing difficulties because of the work required to balance home and work lives.
