Book recommendation on relationship issues? (not for me)
I know that several of you have recommended books before, so I was wondering if you can recommend some for a friend of mine.
She is engaged and wants to go into her marriage on the right foot. She did a search for books on Amazon and she is finding that a lot of them are religious (she isn't a religious person). She is looking for books on "talking about issues, getting on the same page, reconnecting etc..."
She already has a good one that relates to financial issues, so that's covered.
Thanks

Re: Book recommendation on relationship issues? (not for me)
I don't have any book recommendation but I strongly advise pre-marital counseling, especially from a licensed family/marriage therapist because they go beyond the basis and help guide by pointing out the different personality differences and each other needs. Even more so for those who will become a blended family.
This is what I am going to do if I get married again.
This one looks really good:

I know that PIP and her FI are working through a book together but I cannot remember the name.
The Five Love Languages is religious (written by a pastor), but I think it would be a good book regardless of whether or not you are religious. There is a little bit of Jesus talk, but not too much (I think the author makes a disclaimer).
However, TFLL deals with a specific problem - it's a great book if you do have that issue in your relationship, but a waste of time if you don't.
Thanks, ladies! I forwarded all these suggestions on to her.

I read this when my husband and I first started having problems, I also know the psychiatrist who wrote it.
