Default My favorite books that helped me...

Hi everyone,

A little about my story.. I came here a while ago because my wife and I were on the way out. She was cheating and was being selfish in other ways. Anyway, I found a few good books that helped me and wanted to share them with eveyone that needs help.

Stop your Divorce - Homer McDonald

Can't say enough about this man. He has words of wisdom that everyone needs to read. If you haven't read his book, you are missing out on needed marriage wisdom.

Zaxxes.com - Love Boost! by Jonathan Davis

This is a PDF ebook. I learned alot about how I was acting and what to do to help save my marriage. More like a guide than a book though. I followed the instructions he set and watched as my marriage came back to life.

Marriage Saver - Site is now closed though.

Hope this helps.

Listening to your spouse is the best advice I could ever give anyone. Best of luck to you all!

This one has been good for the wife and I.

Frequent Foreplay Miles - by Shela Dean
www.frequentforeplaymiles.com
Its a fun read, and given both my wife and I some things to try, and a new outlook on our relationship.

This is a good idea to have a post on favorite books.

I love relationship books. Here are my favorites:

His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley

Amazon.com: His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage (9780800719388): Willard F. Jr. Harley: Books

LoveBusters by Willard Harley

Amazon.com: Love Busters: Protecting Your Marriage from Habits That Destroy Romantic Love (9780800718947): Willard F. Jr. Harley: Books

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

http://www.amazon.com/Love-Languages...9607732&sr=1-1

and Love Must Be Tough by James Dobson:

http://www.amazon.com/Love-Must-Be-T...9607800&sr=1-1

Our culture provides little help about how to keep marriages strong. We only have movies and songs about falling in love, not about staying in love. Books are a great aid to seeing what we are doing wrong, and how we can change things before they get past recovery.

@lovesherman

My DH & I are on chapter 11 of 'His Needs, Her Needs tonight. Haven't read LoveBusters yet; would you recommend that one as well?

We did Five Love & Languages the book and DVD - loved it!

We finished Love & Respect (with workbook) by Emerson Eggerich before starting His Needs/Her Needs. I'd recommend that one if you haven't read it yet.

We bought ,too, the Love Dare' from the 'Fireproof' movie; but haven't started it yet. Next on our list.

I, personally, would really love to find a good one on dealing with 'insecurity'' for me. Having a tough time with stuff from childhood & an emotionally/verbally abusive first marriage. Would anyone be willing to recommend one?

Yes, Lovebusters is wonderful to help spouses end behaviors that slowly erode love.

My favorite book for insecurity is:

Amazon.com: What to Say When you Talk To Yourself (9780671708825): Shad Helmstetter: Books

Wonderful for changing the crazy-making tapes in your head that sabotage your efforts to love yourself.
