I was never good at gifts either, and that is my H's LL, so I've been trying to do better. But a book on improving marriage might not be what your H had in mind. My H isn't a reader and I don't think he'd appreciate a book on marriage when he isn't sure what he wants.

I don't know if he would see it as me saying to him, "you've got a problem & need to fix it," or as me pointing out his flaws or what have you.


Since you even said that he might think you're pointing out his faults, I think that's a good indication that it wouldn't be a good gift for him. Find something else and if he ever hints around that he'd like to learn more or read more about it, definitely recommend and/or give him the book, but I don't see it going well as a gift
