Alicia Munoz, No More Fighting
Alicia Munoz's No More Fights is an insightful guide to save a relationship. This book tackles 52 common relationship problems, from gender roles to communication blocks to love languages. These exercises and strategies will help you to solve your problems and keep your marriage on track. Each chapter includes a case story of how a couple saved themselves and their relationship. This book will help you to avoid arguments and stagnation in your relationships.
Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages of Couples, despite their popularity, has a few flaws. It fails to recognize the extent of the harm these languages can cause. Although the author provides valuable knowledge, his book also devalues sacrifice and the need to repair a toxic relationship. This concept is useful in the end but should be used with care. This book may not prove useful to those 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 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 is a way to more freedom, intimacy, and great honesty. It is essential for true happiness in a loving marriage.
Dr. John M. Gottman's Bid for Connection
Dr. John M. Gottman’s theory about relationship quality is founded on the concept of bids. Bids, in essence, are requests to be connected. 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 process has been deemed one of the most important aspects of successful relationships.

FAQ
How do I know if my online date is serious?
If you are open to dating someone who isn't only looking for sex and wants to find true love, then spend some time getting to know them.
If they seem too busy to meet up with friends or family, this could indicate that they want to spend time alone together.
They could also have been on numerous dates, which suggests they may have been seeing other people.
This is a red flag that the person doesn't want others to see them, and they may not care about true love.
In dating, it is important to be sincere. Let them know how you feel and why they may be worth your while.
This will help you both understand each other and give you both an opportunity to see how things turn out.
What is a good first date online dating?
Start by asking yourself what you desire from a relationship. Are you looking for someone to have fun? Do you want to be loved? Do you have any other desires? If not, you can go on a few date and find out. If you don't feel anything after a few dates, then you know where your stand. If you do, though, you might want to consider whether you want to meet them again. It's also important to remember that if you don't like someone immediately, they may not be interested either. So, don't rush into things too quickly. Before you make any moves, be patient with one another and get to know each other well.
Why did he contact me back?
Many guys will call back girls after they meet them. This is known "calling back".
This is a sign that he enjoys talking to you. He could have been busy at work or had another issue. But he wanted a chance to speak with you again.
He probably thinks that you're cute and funny. This is why he called you back.
It means he was interested in talking to you and thought you were pretty cool.
Keep his number handy so he doesn't call you back. He will keep calling you back.
If you have a guy's number, you can text him whenever you wish.
This is vital. You are giving permission for a man to call you at any time he wants.
Do not be alarmed if he keeps calling back. Just let him.
What are the worst things you can do with online dating?
The key to success on any social networking site is to have a strong profile, build an active network, and use these networks to access others who are also looking for love.
It's important that you make your profile attractive and well-written. People should find your profile interesting enough to click the link.
They should also see that you are willing to work hard to build relationships. Don't simply post photos from years past.
Show off your best features by uploading photos of your personality and interests.
Be sure to complete your profile. Someone might mistakenly believe you are older if they see you in glasses.
Tell potential dates if you're divorced that you're single. Do not lie if your spouse is still married.
Do not send messages that sound desperate, or needy. Keep your messages succinct.
Never ask someone to date you before you are sure of their feelings. And never send money to someone you don't really know.

First date tips:
-
Be who you are. You don't have to try to look cool or make up for your nerves. Relax and be yourself. Comfortable around her will make your life easier.
-
Be confident. Don't feel you have to "perform" when talking to her. It's a great feeling to be proud of what makes you different. She may not be ready to admit it but women love men who take initiative. Tell her that you are ready to do something together.
-
Have fun. Everyone should have fun. Have fun together. Treat her with respect; she will be back.

Next time, ask her out. Once you have had the opportunity to get to to know her, continue to ask her. Although she might initially say no, keep asking until she eventually says yes. Then you will have another great chance of getting to know her.
-
Follow through. When you set up a date, follow through on it. Be on time and don't forget. Even if you think that she doesn't care, she most likely does. Follow through and make the best impression.
-
Be prepared. Make sure you know what you would like to do on your first date. Bring a few things to share with her (like a funny story or a snack). Also, bring a card or gift to give her later.
-
Keep it simple. Do not spend hours talking about every topic. The first impression you make is the most important. Avoid pursuing topics that are not familiar to you and your partner.
-
Pay attention. When you are talking, pay close attention to her body language. Do you notice her smile often? Is she staring at your face or looking away? These clues will tell if she likes seeing what you see.
-
Be attentive. Women love compliments. Women love men who are interested and pay attention to them. For example, compliment her hair, eyes, or outfit. Tell her how beautiful she looks.
-
Pick a place that fits. Avoid expensive restaurants if you are unable to afford one. Try a café or bar instead. Choose an elegant restaurant if you really want to impress her. But make sure the setting suits both of you.
-
Be appropriate. Most important, dress nicely. Don't forget to wear clean clothes. Choose something nice. Women usually prefer guys who look neat and tidy.

Get to know your partner before the big event. Take walks together, grab lunch together, or just hang out during the day. Get to know your partner will help you plan for the evening. It also gives you more material that you can talk about when you finally sit down to dinner.

Enjoy the meal. Take your time and enjoy every bite, no matter what dish you choose. You can learn about her tastes by trying out new foods.
-
Use the opportunity to meet new people. Try to connect with her after dinner. Perhaps you can go back to your mom's house or make new friends at a local club.
-
Keep your positive attitude. Negative thinking won't help your chances of getting laid. Instead, think about the positives. Your two friends seem to get along, your shared interests are common, etc.
-
You shouldn't take rejection personally. It's not personal. And even if she turns you down, there's always another girl around the corner.

Don't be too optimistic. You may not get lucky right off the bat. Most men fail the first time they try. That's why it's called "practice." You can keep at it until you succeed.

-
Don't overdo it. This is not a contest. No one is number 1.
