For those of you who want to spend time working on your marriage, other than just Sunday mornings, here are some great resources I'd recommend:

1) Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman (sorry to the dudes 'cause the book color is purple)

2) His Needs, Her Needs, by Willard Harley

3) Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts, by Les and Leslie Parrott

4) Sacred Marriage, by Gary Thomas

5) The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work, by John Gottman (Probably my favorite and the most helpful of all these books)

6) Love Map Game (Okay, now you're going to think I'm cheesy.  However, this is a great place to start if you're at a dead end in having conversations w/ the person you're married to.

7) This past fall, I co-led a guys growth group called, "I Want to be a Better Husband".  Here are some free pdf files of the homework we had in the group.  These ideas should be a catalyst for how to treat your wife or husband!

Week 1          Week 2          Week 3            Week 4
