Three Resources for Couples

I have found the following books useful tools for couples who are working on their relationships.

1) John Gottman has written several books, including The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Gottman's work is based on solid research, which is more than can be said for most inspirational self-help literature.

2) The Heitler and Hirsch book The Power of Two Workbook presents simple and effective communication exercises which can be done as a couple.

3) When one or both partners have injured the relationship by infidelity or other offenses, Janis A. Spring's book How Can I Forgive You: the Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not To can also be very helpful.
