Marriage and Relationship Books

Here are some marriage and relationship books that I think are just great, and refer my clients to them often:

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus This book has been around for a long time and for good reason. John Gray delivers an insightful and thought provoking book on the basic differences between men and women. Understanding how men and women deal with their issues differently will help you and your mate accept and work with your differing styles of communicating.

Getting the Love You Want In this book, Harville Hendrix guides us through Imago Therapy", a theory he developed which he discusses how and why we pick the mates that we do, and how we can learn and grow to have healthier relationships. Dr. Hendrix also wrote the workbook, Getting the Love You Want-The Workbook which gives great exercises for you to practice and learn from.

The Proper Care and Feeding of a Marriage Dr. Laura focuses on how men and women need to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of masculinity and femininity; what the best ways to relate, caretake, and nurture each other are; and how to bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster. If you tend to hold a traditional and somewhat conservative view on marriage and relationships, then this book would be a good read.
