Gary Chapman: The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages for Couples has a few flaws despite its popularity. The first is that it does not adequately reflect the impact of these languages.

This book may not prove useful to those in abusive relationships.
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. has written a new book that focuses on making love a habit, and creating more intimacy in relationships. Intimate relationships can be a battlefield - we all have our own demons and insecurities that prevent us from loving others. Don Miguel's approach to love is to move from conditional to unconditional love - which is a transformational experience. Unconditional love can lead to greater freedom, deeper intimacy, and greater honesty. The only way to truly enjoy a loving relationship is through unconditional love.
Dr. John M. Gottman's Offer for Connection
Dr. John M. Gottman’s theory on quality relationships is based on the notion of bids. Bids can be described as requests to connect. They can be verbal or nonverbal. They can also be funny, serious, humorous, serious, or a combination of both. It's not surprising that the bidding is one of many important aspects of building successful relationships.
