Many married couples have difficulty adjusting to each other that they end in legal separation or divorce.  America, as reported in many studies, has a 50% divorce rate. To minimized or avoid this, a lot of counselors and marriage experts decided to make spouse tips books, especially made to prevent divorce and make relationships last a lifetime.

“The Complete Marriage Counselor” by Sherry Amatenstein is one of the spouse tips books that contain common problems by couples and advice from the top 50 marriage counselors in America. Questions about problems in communication, money-spending and infidelity are tackled in this book. Real-life couples asking questions about their partners and their own self are answered by known therapist.

The book entitled, “The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships” by John Gottman, is the one of the spouse tips books that not only enhance your relationship with your spouse but also other relationships you have, as a mother, a daughter and as a friend. Improving your relationship to other people will not only make you a better wife or husband but also a better person. Take the initiative to improve yourself not only for others but also for your own good. Also by the same author, another one of the spouse tips books that you should have is “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country’s Foremost Relationship Expert”, which has practical exercises and questions to know your marriage better and how to make it work.

Another one of the spouse tips books that I can recommend is “From Conflict to Resolution” by Dr. Susan Heitler. This book is primarily for therapist because it includes various schools of therapy on how to move conflict to resolution using the couples’ belief system.  For couples, they could use another book by same author entitled, “The Power of Two: Secrets to a Strong & Loving Marriage” to give them easy-to-remember guideline to resolve conflicts and entertaining examples on how to deepen intimacy for couples to enjoy a lasting relationship. This book is very popular and has been proven to be effective in resolving conflicts and building a stronger relationship between spouses.

Other books that may be enjoyed by spouses are fiction books like, “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger, which is about the life of spouses torn between time and space. It is a beautifully written book about the experience of a wife and a husband who has no control on when they will see each other again. It teaches each person who reads it the beauty of love, the test of patience and the rewards of faithfulness.
