Learning about the Five Love Languages will likely create a paradigm shift in how you give and receive and understand acts of love.  This newer book, for singles, will help you understand your relationships, past, present and future ones, with an enlightened wisdom. 

If you read any of the Five Love Language books (for couples, for children) you will get the gist, so reading all of them is not particularly necessary, but read at least one of them!!!  I highly recommend them! 

I have read excerpts and many, many other articles written by Ken.  He helps you discover your own life purpose and kicks you in the butt enough to move into action.  I recommend anything by Ken.  He's also a phenomenal nature photographer.

I was trained by John in the "No Jerks" program for which he has gained international acclaim. His program, which I am lead, is the basis for this book. 

this book presents his trademarked Relationship Attachment Model (RAM), which breaks down the five dynamic bonding forces that influence a relationship. Van Epp helps you simply and succinctly identify--and break--destructive dating patterns. Most important, he shows you how to recognize "The Right One" when he or she comes along.

I found this book to be highly authentic and personal, and joy-giving!

Charlotte is one of my favorite authors.

"In this practical, playful, yet spiritual guide, Charlotte Davis Kasl, author of the highly successful Finding Joy: 101 Ways to Free
Your Spirit and Dance with Life, shows you what it would
be like to have the ancient wisdom of the Buddha to guide you through the dating process. "

Scott, who grew up in the Lehigh Valley of Pa., has become a good personal friend of mine.  I am completely delighted to recommend his books.

In his book, Dr. Scott guides men in how to best use their own unique, masculine traits and skills, especially those that men use best at work, as leaders, problem-solvers, and managers, to be an motivated spouse and lover, resolve differences and be a proactive partner.    Buy this book for all the men in your life!

I was recently trained by Harville and his wife, Helen Hunt, in their new program, "Couplehood as a Spiritual Path".  This book, "Getting the Love You Want" is his classic.  Harville recently appeared (many, many times over the years) on Oprah in one her all-time favorite shows, on how his Imago techniques help heal conflict and hurt in relationships.  Learn about Imago here.

This "Money Habitudes" deck of cards provides an excellent and fun way for couples to talk about each of your habits and attitudes about money.  Makes an excellent engagement or small, but highly useful wedding gift. 

You'll see in which ways your money values coincide and where they depart.  So, rather than not know or understand your own and your partner's beliefs and habits about money, and then fight about your differences later on, talk now, using these cards as your prompts.
