Have you read any relationship advice books?

That's what all the self help books are about really isn't it? Breaking bad habits and replacing them with new ones. The more of them I read (and that's been a lot recently!), the more I realise that I know what I need to do to help myself already. I just need to actually DO IT!

I have not cause I think they aren't gonna be helpful. I personally think you are better off talking to friends about it, although you do need the right people to talk about it cause not everyone is willing to listen, especially not certain single friends. They may find it annoying to hear you drone on about it when they would be desperate to be in any relationship at all.

I have read one, It is intended for married women, but i guess any mature women in a relationship should be able to relate to the book. Its called Fascinating womanhood. This book is really great, phenomenal, even! I have a friend who suggested i just read it, not for my partner, but only for myself.. that i need it so i can improve on myself more than anything else. First things first, as you have said breaking the bad habits and all. But this book is not focus on the surface of the problems in the relationships. It actually drills down to the depth in understanding why men are like that, and why we woman often is also part in parcel of what is happening with our relationship - yes we also had taken part in destroying the male ego, etc. What i loved about the book was it said in there that we women have to act our part, be the woman that we all are meant to be, and not take on the pants in the relationship and have it our way. When you make a guy pleased and happy about himself, then for sure he will return the favor in making you his queen.... It also tackles what hurts you as a girl, what you have become and why - it is wonderful really when you assess yourself and see that you have some of those anger in you towards the first guy we loved... our fathers.. yeah it is there. you just have to find it, and let it go. If you want a copy i can share it with you. :D

I have to say that I don't think that I've ever actually read a book that shares a lot of relationship advice. However, because of some of the obstacles that my husband and I have been facing in our relationship currently, I do think that it would be good for me to read some books about relationships that might be something that will be able to help us through the problems that we've been facing. I think it is either learning more about relationships or finding a good couple's counselor might be what it will take to save our relationship.

I have read many books about self help and I enjoy reading them because I'm learning a lot. Not most about relationship though, but my favorite one is Secrets of Fascinating Womanhood. It taught me a lot of things about being a good wife to my husband, particularly. I love it, I hope to read more books about those things.

I have never read a relationship advice book, because I was never in a relationship for a long time. And then the next relationship I had was with my husband now. I am not saying I never needed any help, I did but lets say during those times I was so broke to buy one . And also a bit proud to borrow the books of some friends. I can't see anything wrong in seeking help or inputs from writers who have devoted their lives and profession in understanding the social interaction of men and women and the relationship between them. We need all the help that we can get during the times that we need someone to say the right things to say. If ever my relationship now would need some help, I would be open into seeking some advices on these books. Who knows, right?

I have read some relationship books and self help books over the years, but not lately. Much of it is common sense really. It is helpful to be reminded that we can choose how to get along. I like what you posted on that other site, though, and it is helpful to be reminded of these things in that way.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is a very nice book. I was not able to finish it because the owner wanted the book back that time and I read in between work and home chores. But it's a very nice book. Reading it will make one realize the differences and learn to appreciate their partner by knowing them. There is a queue of relationship advice books in the bookshelf but they're not in the priority list right now.

I love books like that.So far, I read about John Gray's Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.It helps me understand myself and my husband.

I have known many people throughout my life that have read books on relationship advice. I have never read these books for myself. Instead of reading on how to be inolved in a relationship I would rather face it on my own and cometo my own conclusions.

I did, also the one your husband is reading, at the that time it was published it was populair, there also were more books with nearly exactly the same tips/advices. To be honest I can't say it did help me with the relationship I had at that moment. I decided to choose for me, to go for me and I am happy I dumped the guy.

my aunt used to read that kind of book and I think was getting some result in her relationship with her husband. I have not read that kind of book but I think nothing is better than love and respect
