Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages for Couples has a few flaws despite its popularity. First, it understates the damage done by these languages. While the book contains valuable knowledge, it also devalues sacrifices and the need of repairing a toxic relationship. In the end, the concept is a useful one, but it must be applied with caution. This book is not recommended for those who are involved in abusive relationships.
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr's The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.’s latest book is about making love a habit and increasing intimacy in relationships. Intimate relationships are battlegrounds - our personal demons and insecurities stand in the way of true love. Don Miguel's method of love is to shift from conditional to unconditional, which can be a transformative experience. Unconditional love is a way to more freedom, intimacy, and great honesty. It is the only way to achieve true happiness in a loving relationship.
Dr. John M. Gottman's Bid for Connection
Dr. John M. Gottman’s theory regarding relationship quality is fundamentally based around the concept bids. Bids are simply requests to connect. Bids may be small or large in size, verbal or not, serious or funny, and can even include a mix of both. It's not surprising that the bidding is one of many important aspects of building successful relationships.
