We have made a selection of interesting books about how to find love in marriage and to build healthy relationships.
1. “Fear of intimacy. How to stop defending yourself and start loving”, Ilse Sand
Ilse Sand, renowned Danish psychotherapist and author of the bestselling book Close to the Heart, explains how psychological trauma and turmoil shape our behavior patterns and cause us to avoid true emotional intimacy. The author says that such protection often makes us unhappy and unable to experience deep feelings and also find love for marriage. This leads to problems in relationships, lack of mutual understanding and the desire to withdraw into one’s shell. The good news is that you can and should work with this. The book has a lot of advice to help you overcome your fears.
2. “Why we love. The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love by Helen Fisher
Anthropologist Helen Fisher tried to explain from a scientific point of view what humanity has been pondering throughout its existence: what is love and why do we fall in love and why do we want to find love for marriage? Everyone has heard about the hormones of happiness and the “chemistry” that arises between people, but most of us have a very superficial understanding of the most important feeling. The author examined the brains of hundreds of lovers, studied processes in the bodies of people and animals, and ultimately came to interesting conclusions that will help you better understand yourself and the nature of your emotions. After all, love rules the world!
3. “Act like a woman, think like a man. Why men love but don’t marry, and other secrets of the stronger sex,” Steve Harvey
Comedian Steve Harvey believes that girls lack an understanding of the psychology of guys – of course, because we are so different! We often consult with friends who look at relationships in the same way from a female point of view. Therefore, Harvey acts as a friend who is ready to explain everything as it is. How do guys fall in love for marriage? Why are many people afraid of taking responsible steps? What questions should you ask your chosen one to understand the seriousness of his intentions? The book is written with humor, in a very lively and understandable language – we are sure that it will clarify a lot for you.
4. “We fall in love three times. What relationships and breakups teach us and how not to miss out on your true love,” Kate Rose
It is generally accepted in society that successful relationships are those that ended in marriage and lasted for a long time. Ideally, for the rest of your life. Fairy tales, films and books teach us this… Art therapist Kate Rose suggests looking at the situation from a different angle and asking yourself the question: what do breakups give me?
In fact, it is a source of experience necessary for self-improvement. Correctly done work on mistakes and the realization that nothing happens “just like that” brings us closer to the relationship we really want. The author tells how to learn to benefit from even the most painful breakup, and explains why at one stage or another in life we meet certain people.
5. “Rules of online dating. How to Find True Love on the Internet” by Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider
Ellen Fein and Sherry Schneider once wrote a book, “The Rules,” which became a reference textbook on relationships for several generations of girls. Now the authors have decided to supplement their “set of commandments”, adapting it to modern realities. Alas, many classic rules do not work in online dating and correspondence. Therefore, the new publication tells how to properly meet and communicate with guys on social networks. There will be no questions left!
