Before we jump into it, we would like to
mention a few things. First, these books
on marriage and relationships are
presented in no particular order, so
there is no comparing which one is
actually the best. Second, books on
relationships are only meant to give
relationship tips, not dictate how your
relationship is supposed to work.
Therefore, respectfully consider them,
but use the given advice sparingly.
Now that we have gotten that out of the
way, here are some of the best books on
marriage and relationships.

47 Little Love Boosters For a Happy Marriage:
Connect and Instantly Deepen Your Bond No
Matter How Busy You Are
The author of this book talks about all
kinds of relationships: from those that
have lasted a few weeks to those that
have managed to last for decades. As we
all know, many couples cannot seem to
be able to keep the romance alive. This
book offers some success stories of long-
lasting relationships you can use as an
example to model your own over.
The most important thing the author
touches upon is that it takes mere
minutes each day to connect with your
loved one and let them know you love
them. And it does not cost a thing! The
book also comes with a checklist that
allows you to see the things you have
and have not done for your significant
other. If you feel like you do not have
time to read a physical book, you can
find this one in the audiobook format.
