Y YY YYY The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman    What Love Language Do You Speak? From the Critics: This isn't the first book to point out that what communicates love to you might not mean a thing to your mate. But Gary Chapman says it the most clearly, and most convincingly. His well-defined languages explain why so many well-meaning spouses find expressions of love so frustrating. Marriage Partnership

YY YY YYY The Love List: Eight Little Things That Make a Big Difference in Your Marriage   by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott  Are You Giving a Daily Dose of Hugs? The doctors have prescribed eight healthy habits — well within reach of every couple — that can refresh, transform and restore the intimacy of your marriage relationship. Filled with practical suggestions and assessments on implementing each behavior, this book will help you make daily, weekly, monthly and yearly improvements in your marriage.  From an amazon.com Reader: I ran across this book by accident and was instantly hooked. Unlike many relationship books, the author talks sense rather than nonsense. There is nothing fancy here, nothing that costs money. Nothing that requires elaborate preparation. The main idea is that husband and wife need to be intentional about nurturing the marriage and they probably need to talk about important stuff a lot more than they are probably doing now. The ideas here speak to me. I can see my wife and I putting this into practice over the long run. Skinny book, and a fast read. Take your time, read it two or three times, give it to your spouse to read and then talk, talk, talk about the ideas. I'd say this is for folks like us - good marriages that could be better. This is probably not the recipe for repairing a damaged relationship.
