Marriage and dating can be hard . . . “Life” happens and priorities shift. Every couple needs to be intentional in order to strengthen and grow their relationship. But we often spend more time planning our vacations than investing in our marriage. Although there are many aspects to create a successful relationship, the focus of this post is on great marriage books. This list has been created and “pre-approved” by our Senior Pastor Ben Newman, my wife Michelle, and her two good friends Maggie Kowalski and Peg Kothari. Collectively, they have a million times more knowledge than I’ll ever have. Here’s what they recommend, broken into five categories (with links to Amazon.com for more info): Great Marriage Books Sacred Marriage – Gary L. Thomas You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity – Boundaries in Marriage – Henry Cloud & John Townsend For Men Only – Shaunti Feldhahn & Jeff Feldhahn For Women Only – Shaunti Feldhahn & Jeff Feldhahn Men Are Like Waffles Women Are Like Spaghetti – Fireproof – Alex Kendrick & Stephen Kendrick Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage – Mark Gungor Fit to Be Tied – Bill Hybels and Lynne Hybels The Love Dare – Alex Kendrick & Stephen Kendrick Sacred Influence (For wives) – Gary L. Thomas The Five Love Languages – Gary D. Chapman Communication: Key to Your Marriage – H. Norman Wright Cracking the Communication Code – Emerson Eggerichs Love & Respect – Emerson Eggerichs His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage – Willard F. Harley, Jr. Hedges: Loving Your Marriage Enough to Protect It – Intimate Issues: Conversations Woman to Woman – And, if you like marriage enrichment videos, check out this trailer from The Art of Marriage. Our church is showing segments of this during our “Great Date Nights”. They are open to the community, so follow our church on Facebook or visit our website to find out dates and details.
