In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that Hawaiians take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays we should take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
You can play along or find others at An Island Life.
What is your all-time favorite marriage book?
Mine is Love and Respect. Very good book! At least for couples to read together. But even if only one person reads it, it is great.
For women to read, it is Creative Counterpart by Linda Dillow. Hands down.
I have to agree with you about "Love and Respect." It's really the only marriage book that has ever been truly helpful for us. Great question!
ReplyDeleteI would also agree - Love and Respect.
ReplyDeleteI have never read a marriage book. Could probably use one for the two of us for raising kids... LOL.
ReplyDeleteI have not written it yet. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I've ever read an entire marriage book. I've read most of "For Women Only", and it was pretty good. I'm really enjoying "I Do Again" and actually want to finish it. I own a couple of others, that I started, but never finished, like:
ReplyDeleteWhen Couples Pray: The Little-Known Secret to Lifelong Happiness in Marriage, by Cheri Fuller
and
Is There A Moose In your Marriage?: Removing the Roadblocks through the Power of God, by Nancy Cobb and Connie Grigsby.
I didn't do the Love and Respect conference, but I was there working in the kitchen...and caught bits and pieces of it.
Honestly have to say that I do not have one.
ReplyDeleteDr. Dobbson wrote a book, I cna't remember what it was but it's great
ReplyDeleteI have the women from venus/men from mars one but haven't read it all!
ReplyDeleteI have read quite a few relationship books. But, none have really helped as much as the love languages book by Gary Chapman.
ReplyDeleteOnce we learned what love languages we thrived on, it gave a new level of comfort and appreciation to our marriage. My husband is a giver. But, I don't want services or gifts, I want words of affirmation. And, he wants personal touch and closeness. Which is my lowest category. Once we were aware of these things, we could consciously take strides to make each other happier.

ReplyDeleteHow We Love by Milan and Kay Yerkovich... fabulous
ReplyDeleteI'm not married so I've never read a marriage book. I love to read though!
ReplyDeleteWhew! Honestly, I've not read many marriage books - but I do like the book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus". It's sooooo true!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one but I'm about to work on the Love Dare so maybe that will be it!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I have never read a book on marriage. I like to read mystery books.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many marriage books at all. But the one that made the biggest impression on me was one I read right after I was married. The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck. It taught me a lot about respect. Now, I don't know if I'd still recommend it as I don't remember it being Christian-based but it helped put me understand myself and my husband better.
ReplyDeleteMy husband liked His Needs Her Needs.
ReplyDeleteI've never read one!
