Relationship is a course we should be studying in school because we have seen so many people who prospered in every area of their lives but failed in their marriage and later affected every area of their lives. However, we are grateful for some authors who have helped us with their experiences so far and now we can read from their experiences to avoid the mistakes they made or probably the mistakes others brought to them.
You can get these books on Amazon and can also ask from friends and family because they are common books that they are likely to have. I won’t be amaze if some of us have read some of these books.
Below are 5 best relationship books to read for a strong relationship:

This book has proven invaluable as a tool for clients in understanding that we all have different ways of feeling loved. One partner may give kind words because that’s what he needs in order to feel loved, but his partner may need quality time instead.
