The 5 Love Languages gives you a better understanding of your partner, previous relationships and even yourself.
Everyone loves differently, everyone shows it differently, and everyone sees love differently too. Have you felt that your loving actions have not been noticed? Do you feel like your partner is not giving the love that you want? This book will help you understand and identify both you and your partner's love language. It will explain how to effectively talk their love language and both of you can more effectively make each other feel loved.
This book really helped us understand each other. We are very different people, who like very different ways of showing love. This book has really strengthened our relationship since day one of reading it.
Another Gary Chapman book, but as the title suggests, this one is best for getting an understanding of your partner before marriage.
When dating for many years or "really being in love" it's easy to think that you have an understanding of everything your partner wants in life. This book helps identify those difficult conversations early on. Does your partner want kids? How many? Where will you spend holidays? Will you go to church?
These questions can easily fall out of scope when dealing with everyday life, but they are important questions when dating someone seriously and thinking about marriage in the future.
We would highly suggest Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married for couples who are seriously looking at next steps of a relationship. If you are already married this book may not be as beneficial as some of the other books on the list, but for couples who are wondering if they are ready this is a must read.
Couple Skills is all about bettering skills in a relationship. The book is actually written for professional couple counselors and couples looking to strengthen their own skills in the relationship. It helps teach basic communication skills for inside and outside of your relationship. These same skills can be used to better communicate with family members and even employers.
After basic skills you are able read chapters as modules depending on where you feel you need the most help. This is great because it helps you get to your core issues quicker. You can read it alone to just strengthen yourself, but the skills improve even faster when reading with your partner.
This book helps you take an important look at yourself and your relationship. It's important to keep an open mind when reading it. This book is best for when you are already in a healthy relationship and both want to improve yourselves, but there are also many points that can help a troubled relationship.
