Our counselor recommended this book to us in her approach to EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). We had been to behavioral therapy before, but this approach goes deeper than just communication tools. It gets to the heart of our emotional attachments. It was surprisingly scary how spot on it was for our relationship! You can see yourself and spouse in each conversation. It made me feel quite understood in where we were and how to adjust. It also has with a workbook to work on as a couple.

This is a classic! It should be read over and over throughout your marriage. It’s so important to know how to recognize when your partner is trying to love you, for you to know how you naturally give and receive love, and vice versa. You’ll discover your love language is quite different than your spouse! This knowledge will solve a lot of missed marks in the relationship. Our love languages can evolve as we do, so this is one that will never get old!

This book was a favorite of Hart’s. It spoke his language as it takes a consciousness approach to your partnership. You’ll find yourself marinating on this one, not a quick read. You will come to find understanding of yourself and your partner on a level that you normally don’t tap into. It also comes with a workbook!

This book talks about the loss of a spouse. Eventually we do all go through this event, and this book is such a loving way of being a friend to you in the process. It’s a heart wrenching journey, but it’s a beautiful progression of love and life after loss. It helped me appreciate Hart for simply being here on earth with me and appreciating the love we still have. If you need a perspective change, this one is for you!

Wives, if you’ve ever wondered how to pray for your marriage or your spouse, this is such a powerful teacher. My friend recommended this book to me. She spent 30 days getting up early in the morning to pray for her husband with the direction of this book. She was amazed to see how it positively affected her husband and their marriage. I ordered it right away, and have since given it out to many of my married friends.

Husbands, if you want to see your wife’s heart expand and her purpose fulfilled, you play a powerful role. Pick up this book and commit to using it for the next 30 days. It’s a strong way for you to pursue her heart. Guaranteed you yours will be changed in the process as well.

I know this is a parenting book, but really it’s a family relationship guide, including for marriages. There is so much well thought through wisdom in here. This is another book that can be read over and over. I typically tap back into it when I know I’m not handling my relationships in the best way and need help. I always come away feeling refreshed with understanding.
