Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Despite its popularity, Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages for couples has a few shortcomings. First, it fails to acknowledge the seriousness of these languages. His book, while it contains valuable information and a lot of useful advice, also downplays the importance of sacrifice and the need to heal a toxic relationship. In the end, the concept is a useful one, but it must be applied with caution. This book is not recommended for those who are involved in abusive relationships.
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s new book focuses upon making love a habit. It also teaches how to bring more intimacy into your relationships. Intimate relationships can be a battlefield - we all have our own demons and insecurities that prevent us from loving others. Don Miguel's method of love is to shift from conditional to unconditional, which can be a transformative experience. Unconditional love leads to greater liberation, deep intimacy, and tremendous honesty. True happiness in a loving partnership depends on it.
Dr. John M. Gottman's Offer for Connection
The core tenet of Dr. John M. Gottman's theory on relationship quality is the concept of bids. Essentially, bids are requests to connect. Bids may be small or large in size, verbal or not, serious or funny, and can even include a mix of both. It's not surprising that the bidding process has been deemed one of the most important aspects of successful relationships.

How To
How to act on your first date?
It should be exciting and enjoyable on your first date. You want to make sure you have a great time together. What are the best ways to make sure you have a great time together?
First, remember that you don't need to know everything about someone immediately. It's okay to be unaware of his hobbies and interests. It doesn't mean that he's not interested in the topics. It doesn't matter if you don't know all about him yet, it doesn't mean that you won't enjoy spending quality time with him.
Second, be lighthearted. Don't take your life too seriously. Don't worry if you get nervous. This is supposed to make you laugh!
Third, be open to discussing your mutual interests. Ask your partner questions about what interests them. Ask questions about each other.
Fourth, pay attention and listen to what he's saying. Pay attention to his speech patterns. You should pay attention to how he speaks. Also, notice whether he talks fast or slow. Listen for clues about how he feels about himself and others.
Fifth, ask open-ended question. You should ask questions that both of you must answer. Instead of asking "What type of music do you prefer?" ask, "Do you prefer listening to classical music or rock/pop?"
Sixth, be attentive to his body language. Watch for signs that he likes you. Look at the way he holds his hands when he talks to you. Do you see any hand gestures? Is he comfortable around you? Is he smiling? These are all good indicators that he likes you.
Seventh, be aware of signs that he doesn’t like you. These signs are important. What does he do when you touch his face? What happens if you look into his eyes and touch him?
If you feel that the person is attractive, kiss him. It's perfectly fine to start kissing him right away.
If you don’t like him, tell he so. Tell him that you think there's no future between you two.
If you're not comfortable with the idea, say so. Tell him that he isn't your type. Or maybe you'd rather spend your time with someone who shares more of your interests.
You might also want to consider telling him you've already met someone else.
You could even mention that you feel sorry for him. He likely has some positive qualities, but has not yet met anyone who is special.
It would be nice to do that.
