Alicia Munoz’s No More Fighting
No More Fights by Alicia Munoz is a practical guide for saving a relationship.

These exercises and strategies will help you to solve your problems and keep your marriage on track. Each chapter includes an example of how a couple saved their marriage. This book will help you get out of arguments and relationships stagnation.
Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages to Couples is popular, but has a few weaknesses. First, it doesn't adequately describe the consequences of these languages. While the book contains valuable knowledge, it also devalues sacrifices and the need of repairing a toxic relationship. The concept is useful, but must be used with caution. This book may not prove useful to those in abusive relationships.
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. 'The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work'
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s newest book focuses on making love a habit and bringing greater intimacy into relationships. Intimate relationships make it difficult - our insecurities as well as personal demons can prevent us from experiencing true love. Don Miguel's approach to love is to move from conditional to unconditional love - which is a transformational experience. Unconditional love leads to greater liberation, deep intimacy, and tremendous honesty. Only love can bring true happiness to a loving partner.
Dr. John M. Gottman's Call for Connection
Dr. John M. Gottman's theory of relationship quality is based on the idea of bids. Bids are simply requests to connect. They can be very small or very large, verbal, nonverbal (serious or funny), or a combination of both. It is no surprise that the bidding procedure has been called one of most important aspects in successful relationships.

FAQ
What should you avoid doing online dating?
Your key to success in any social networking site is having a strong profile, building a network and using these networks to find others looking for love.
You should ensure your profile is well-written and attractive. People should find your profile interesting enough to click the link.
They should also see that you are willing to work hard to build relationships. Don't post photos of yourself taken years ago.
Show off your best features by uploading photos of your personality and interests.
Make sure that your profile is complete and accurate. A picture of you with glasses might make someone think you are older than you really are.
Tell potential partners if you have been divorcing. Don't tell anyone if you are still married.
Don't send messages that sound desperate or needy. Keep your messages concise and to the point.
Never ask someone to date you before you are sure of their feelings. You should never send money or personal information to someone you don’t know.
Are Bumble relationships worth it?
Users can create profiles and upload photos. They can also send messages to other users. Matches are made based upon mutual interests. If both parties agree to start dating, they may send each other direct messages.
For women looking to meet men who share similar interests, the app offers an option. It's free to download from iTunes.
Bumble has been called Tinder-like because it works in the exact same way.
However, unlike Tinder users cannot see photos of potential matches until they have sent a message.
Should you kiss on the first date if you met online?
If you are looking for love online, then kissing could be an important part of how you meet someone. There are other ways you can find love online. Kissing may not be right for everyone.
It's good practice to be cautious, as you never know who you will spend more time with. Be light-hearted if you plan to kiss your first date. At this stage, don't expect to get anything from your date.
Do not rush into anything or try to force a person into a marriage. Enjoy getting to know each other and take things slow.
How can I determine if my online date has serious intentions?
If you are serious about dating someone who isn’t looking for sex but would like to find love, it is important to take the time and get to know them.
If they appear too busy to get together with their friends and family, it could indicate they desire to spend more time alone.
They might also have been on several dates, suggesting that they have been seeing others.
This is a red flag because if they aren't willing to put themselves out there by meeting others, they probably don't care about finding true love.
When it comes to dating, you should be open and honest. Tell them what you feel about them and why you believe they are worth your time.
This will help them understand where you stand and give you both a chance to see if things work out.
What are some red flags for online dating?
You should avoid certain things when searching for love online.
First, don’t expect too much of someone who doesn’t have photos of themselves. If they want to see yours, they'll send theirs first.
You should also know that if they've only been talking for less than 24hrs, chances are, they've just created an account, and haven't had the time to fill it in yet.
And finally, if they ask you to participate in a video chat, don't do it. It's not worth risking getting caught on camera by someone who could potentially be watching.

How To
How to create a memorable date for your first time
It is important to know your interests and what you are interested in discussing. The most important thing is to make sure there is something in common. It is better to get to know the person than you do about them. You should also pick a place they are comfortable in. It could be a restaurant, cinema, museum, etc.
Once you have talked about yourself, try to gather some information about the other person. For example, if he/she loves sports, you can suggest going to a stadium together. Or if she/he enjoys reading books, you can visit a library.
Talking about politics, religion, or sensitive topics is not a good idea. You should also avoid discussing personal problems.
It is a good idea to speak slowly throughout the meal. This will enable you to get to know your partner and establish a relationship.
After dinner, you have the option to go for a walk or visit coffee shops. Send a message to your spouse or partner thanking them for their time.
