The book provides solutions and exercises to these problems, and helps you keep your relationship on track. Each chapter also includes a case study of how a couple saved their relationship. This book is for couples who are struggling with conflict or stagnation. It will show you how to prevent them and save your relationship.
Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Despite its popularity, Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages for couples has a few shortcomings. First, it fails to acknowledge the seriousness of these languages. While the book is full of valuable information, it also devalues sacrifice and how to fix a toxic relationship. This concept is useful in the end but should be used with care. This book may not be suitable for you if you are in an abusive marriage.

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 about relationship quality is founded on the concept of bids. Essentially, bids are requests to connect. They can be small or large, verbal or nonverbal, serious or funny, or any combination of the two. It's no surprise that the bidding process is considered to be one of the most important components of successful relationships.

How To
How to act on a first date
It should be exciting and enjoyable on your first date. You want to have a good time. How can you do this best?
First, don't assume you know everything about everyone. It's okay if you're unfamiliar with his interests and hobbies. That doesn't mean he isn't interested in those topics. Just because you don't know everything about him yet doesn't mean you won't enjoy spending time with him.
Second, be lighthearted. Don't take your life too seriously. Don't worry if you get nervous. This is supposed to be fun!
Third, get to know each other's interests. Ask them about their interests. Find out as much information as possible about your partner.
Fourth, be attentive to what he is saying. Pay attention how he speaks. Be aware of whether he uses words such "I" or “you”. Pay attention to how fast or slow he talks. Listen out for clues about his feelings about himself, others, and the world around him.
Ask five questions that are open ended. You should ask questions that both of you must answer. For example, instead of asking, "What kind of music do you like?" Ask "What music do you prefer to listen to?"
Sixth, pay close attention to body language. Look out for signs that he likes to be around you. Look at the way he holds his hands when he talks to you. Do you see any hand gestures? Do you see him being comfortable around other people? Is he happy? These are all great indicators that he loves you.
Seventh, pay attention to signs that he doesn’t enjoy you. These are the signs you should be paying attention to. What does he do when you touch his face? What happens when your gaze reaches his eyes?
Finally, if you love the person, be sure to kiss him. It's perfectly fine to start kissing him right away.
If you don't like him, tell him so. Tell him that you think there's no future between you two.
If you're not comfortable with the idea, say so. Tell him he's not for you. Or perhaps you'd prefer to spend time with someone who shares more your interests.
It might be a good idea to tell him that you have already met someone.
It's possible to even feel sorry for him. He probably has some good qualities but hasn't found anyone special yet.
That would be a nice thing to do.
