30 Informative How-to Relationship Books you Need to Read
Relationship Books to Read
by Nancy Fagan, Relationship Resolution Center
Every week people ask me for book recommendations related to the issues they are dealing with in their lives. Because I'm a marriage counselor, I try to read as many books on the topic as possible. Some are pretty good and offer helpful advice to help with relationship problems or dealing with breakups. Others, however, are awful. I'd hate to have you waste your time with one of these.
Below is a list of my favorite books, broken into categories of common issues people experience at different stages in their lives: "Should I stay married or not," "Books to improve your marriage," "Books about divorce," "Books about surviving divorce," and "Books about parenting and divorce."
If you have read a helpful book that is not listed, please let me know, and I will add it. Enjoy!
