[mrscompgeek]

Im not sure where to post this, wasnt sure if it belonged in Spirituality or here. Mods feel free to move it if this is not the right place!

DH and I have been reading alot of books lately on Marriage and I thought it would be nice to have a thread for everyone to post there favorite/what helped them most books on Marriage.

DH and I have read~

First Five years of Marriage- Phillip J. Swihart and Wilford Woote
Sheet Music- By Kevin Lehman
5 Love languages- Gary Chapman

AND we want to get the LOVEDARE book from the movie Fireproof and go through that.

Two thumbs up for "Sheet Music" and "The Five Love Languages"!!!

I saw, years and years ago on "20/20", a story of a research team that filmed married couples conversations and were able to predict (IIRC their success rate of prediction was 90% or so!) which couples would last and which wouldn't. The ones that were able to respect each other (in the middle of a disagreement) and really listen/consider what the other was saying were the ones who were able to stay together. It sounds so common sense, but its human nature to want to win an argument and takes practice to really learn to listen/value a different POV

We're not Christian but I loved the 5 Love Languages book. In fact right now I am reading his newest book about families.
