book advice for separated but hopeful wife

seekingaadvice · 05-31-2012, 04:27 PM

I am going through a brand new separation. My story is here:

can we resolve this with separation?

At this point my husband is staying with a friend and I'm still at our apartment. I have been given some advice about books that might help the situation. Does anybody have any book advice, or additional advice in general?

seekingaadvice, this is a re-post from your other thread.

The books that iheartlife recommended were a great help to my marriage. They are the among the most recommended by posters on this site. I agree those should be your first reads.
His Needs, Her Needs
Love Busters
The Five Love Languages

Good luck

I just want to add one more book that our MC loves and says will put him out of business (I am awaiting my own copy). I've seen others recommend it on the forum as well, The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work by Gottman

If anyone else has books to add, I believe the OP is placing an order soon and was hoping to hear other books in this vein that people loved and found particularly helpful.
