When it comes to books, marriage counselors and psychologists often put out AMAZING books that can help with relationships whether you're in one or not.   Here are 3 amazing reads!


1. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

This book is amazing whether you are single, dating, or married.  Each person has a different way of feeling loved.  Basically broken down into 5 languages: gifts, acts of love, affection, quality time, and words of affirmation.  Gary Chapman explains how once we figure out what our language is and what our partner's language is, we can learn to express love in their language.  In the end, everyone's happier.  This book will improve your life and relationship.  


2. Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married by Gary Chapman
Once again a great read by Gary Chapman, as he explains the things that couples need to keep in perspective in order to have a healthy happy marriage. 




  3. Deal Breakers: When to Work On a Relationship and When to Walk Away by Bethany Marshall
A great book that looks at what things can't be changed and can be worked on in a relationship.   This is another crucial read that you won't ever regret.

  1. I recently picked up the 5 Languages of Love after having it suggested by a fellow counseling student. I'm only a couple of chapters in so far, but I've been really enjoying it so far. It's an easy read and certainly gives you a new way of looking at your relationship. I'll have to check out the other two books you suggested at some point too. :)

  6. I have read tons of books, and many on marriage specifically. My all time favorite is "Love and Respect" by Emerson Eggerichs. I could honestly stand to read it at least once a year.
