Books on marriage:
As for Me and My House, Walter Wangerin, Jr.
This is by far our favorite book on the topic of crafting a marriage that lasts and works. We've spent hours reading out loud together many books on the subject, and this one stands out, not only for its wisdom, but for Wangerin's classically crafted and beautiful writing style.
Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul :... , Canfield and Hanson
One of the well known "Chicken Soup" series, the authors have collected a treasury of stories to warm your heart and move you toward cherishing the one you travel through time with.

Books on personal effectiveness in life and relationships:
Seven Habits... Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey
If you haven't yet read this classic, it's time. Covey's principles are timeless, true, and universally applicable. Read this book, as soon as you can, put it into practice and it will change your life.

Books on creating a healthy family environment:
The Shelter of Each Other, Mary Pipher
Very insightful writing from an experienced family therapist, but not a book about therapy. It's about values, doing what's right, loving each other no matter what, and putting family before all the "junk" in our American culture. Read this book, and you'll probably make some decisions about how you spend your time.

Books on parenting:
One of the major stresses on marriage today is dealing with "the kids," from infancy through adolescence. What if you and your spouse don't see eye to eye on discipline, or allowance, or... you name it. Here are a number of books we've found useful as we deal with the complexities of raising toddlers to teens.
Discipline That Works, Thomas Gordon, Ph.D.
How to Talk So Kids Will Listen , Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
Parenting Your Teenager in the 90's, David Elkind, Ph.D.
The Explosive Child, Ross Greene
Raising a Self-Reliant Child... Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-indulgent World , Glenn and Nelson
Parent/Teen Breakthrough Parent-Teen Breakthrough , Mira Kirshenbaum

Books on family based business:
Maybe the biggest stressor in most marriages is money, or lack of it. Here are several very exciting books on how you can create wealth from within your own home, in the huge opportunity of network marketing!
Dare to Dream... Dare to Dream and Work to Win , Dr. Thomas Barrett
Wave 4 Wave 4 : Network Marketing in the 21st Century , Richard Poe
Being the Best You Can Be in Mlm, John Kalench

And Finally, books to warm your heart and stir your imagination (just because we all need some wholesome fiction from time to time!)
Fidelity: Five Stories, Wendell Berry.
Start this book, and you may be up late reading. Berry is a master story teller, and you'll find yourself moved and energized by the tales he has created here, and in others of his story collections.
