No More Fights by Alicia Munoz is a practical guide for saving a relationship. This book discusses 52 common issues in relationships. These include gender roles, communication difficulties, and love languages. These exercises and strategies will help you to solve your problems and keep your marriage on track. Each chapter also includes a case study of how a couple saved their relationship. This book will help you to avoid arguments and stagnation in your relationships.
Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Despite its popularity, Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages for couples has a few shortcomings. It fails to recognize the extent of the harm these languages can cause. The author is a valuable source of knowledge but his book also undervalues sacrifices and the need for healing toxic relationships. While the concept is helpful in the end, it should not be taken lightly. This book might not be useful if you are in an abusive relationship.

Follow-up. Send him an SMS message after your date. You should thank him for taking the opportunity to meet you and letting you know that he was kind. Let him know that you'd like to continue to talk.
