It helped us. I do see there is another book for parents now, I might have to get it. Oh, it does have religious biblical verses but my therapist says you can ignore that if you aren't religious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2749457 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 19:46:54 +0000 mrsrain 2749457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: we read it pre-marriage, but it's a good idea to re-read since we are 7 years in with two kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2749084 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 09:19:05 +0000 snowjewelz 2749084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for that book haha! </p> <p>We read it as a dating couple, but I found that since kids, some of our languages have changed so it was really helpful to go back and re-evaluate. </p> <p>Basically at one point we were very frustrated b/c neither of us feel loved but we both felt like we were trying our best to love one another and it turned out we just needed to take another look at how we receive love and then how we can best show it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2749009 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 06:10:56 +0000 Adira 2749009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely agree to The Five Love Languages. That book is huge!</p> <p>We've been working through the Couples Therapy Workbook during counseling and I really like that one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2749006 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 00:56:12 +0000 turquoisemama 2749006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 Principles of Making Marriage Work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2749001 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 23:47:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2749001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: yes to the 5 love languages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2748988 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 22:09:12 +0000 youboots 2748988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: agreed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-to-help-strengthen-marriage#post-2748987 Sun, 18 Jun 2017 21:51:43 +0000 jhd 2748987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Five Love Languages is hands down the best thing we have ever read for our marriage.

I'd love to work on this before it becomes a real issue! </p>
