Well here is the situation. My DBF and I have been really fighting sometime fierce lately. I can't handle it. I am about to give up but just can't because I want this to work for my DS. We have started going to a counselor a week ago.....he was completely willing to go. We are going through an organization in our community and we got an intern going for her masters. At first I thought she is never going to be able to help us because our problems are to advanced for her. Being the optimist that I am.....I decided that it is a blessing because not only will we be getting her ideas but also her superviser and Professor that she has to report back to. I have attended my sister's church off and on with her ( I am not a member there) and the preacher has helped her alot with past problems. He is a very kind and understanding man that I think I would feel comfortable talking to. Therefore, I am going to call him tomorrow and see if we can talk and he can give me some suggestions or resources to help. My question to you ladies is ....... Do you know of any good marriage counseling books that deal with the religious aspect of relationships?? I looked up on Amazon and found one but it seems like it is more a resource book for counselors to use. I really want to get one that someone has had luck with and not just pick one up on a shelf at the book store. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated........TIA

Great book!!! The Five Love Languages....how to express heartfelt commitment to your mate...written by Gary Chapman. It helps the two of you figure out which love style you prefer. Almost like a learning style but the choices are Word of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Physical Touch. It also gives both of you a quiz in the back to figure out which you prefer. I haven't finished reading it yet, but it is a great book for both sexes. I bought it in a book store for $13.99 but you can also get them on amazon etc. Good Luck!!!
