10 Best Marriage Books…Ever

By Fawn Weaver on Wednesday, November 7, 2012

On Monday, I shared with you what books have impacted my marriage the most.  I then asked you what books had made the greatest impact on your marriage.  More than 200 of you responded and I was pretty surprised by the results.

Although I didn’t have any set expectations regarding what your responses would be, I was surprised at how many said the same books over and over.  With the number of marriage books that have come into the market over the past 20 years, I didn’t think the responses would be so lopsided.  I guess that means these books must be pretty doggone good.

I am a lover of books and many of the books on this list, including the one that tied the Bible for the #1 marriage book, I’ve never gotten around to purchasing.  I guess that will now change.  So without further ado, the following is the list of top marriage books…ever…as voted by you:

1. The Holy Bible

1. Love and Repect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (this book tied the Bible for most votes)

2. The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

3. Power of the Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian

4. Love Dare (Fireproof) by Stephen Kendrick & Alex Kendrick

5. The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura Schlessinger

6. Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray

7. Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas

8. Sheet Music by Dr. Kevin Leman

9. The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle

10. Real Marriage by Mark & Grace Driscoll
