As my title suggests, my WAW wants to work on our marriage to save it. She is willing to do anything it might take to do so-counseling, reading books, pretty much anything. She seems to have an open mind now about our R. Her main concern is that her feelings of love might not be as strong as they once were. I am not quite sure how I am able to help her with that and don't even think I really am able to help her with that. My main question to you here is regarding the books, she asked me to suggest a book or two to her. I am not sure what to suggest. Some help here would be great.

thank you.

Mark -- Congratulations! Glad to hear the good news.

Now, if w is truly asking for reading material, I'd suggest:

"The 5 love languages" by Chapman

and

"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Gray

Also

"His needs, her needs" by Harley (actually, any of his books).

All of them are applicable to you to!

Sage,

Thank you for your advice on the books. I have the 5LL as well as Venus/Mars. I think that I will opt with the 5LL first and go from there. I guess it will all depend on her reaction to it. I certainly hope that she finds it to be of some help. I also hope that she seeks some other books out on her own but if not I will always be happy to point her in the direction of some. Besides counseling what else is out there? I am not sure about Retrouvaille but I don't think anything like that would hurt. I want you to know that I am not going to go nuts and push a bunch of things on her but I want to come up with as many ideas as possible just in case we need/want to use them down the road. For the time being I am content with the fact that she is willing to read and go to the counseling as well as spending time with me. I am hopeful that everything works out and appreciate of any advice.

Mark
