Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages for Couples has a few flaws despite its popularity. First, it doesn't adequately describe the consequences of these languages.

This book may not prove useful to those in abusive relationships.
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.'s new book focuses upon making love a habit. It also teaches how to bring more intimacy into your relationships.

Don Miguel's way of approaching love is to change from conditional into unconditional love. This is a transformative experience. Unconditional, unconditional love allows for greater freedom, deep intimacy and a great deal of 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 about relationship quality is founded on the concept of bids. Essentially, bids are requests to connect. They can be small or large, verbal or nonverbal, serious or funny, or any combination of the two. It is not surprising that bidding has been considered one of the most important elements of successful relationships.

What are the warning signs of online dating?
When looking for love on the internet, you should avoid a few things at all costs.
First, don't expect too much from someone who doesn't have pictures of themselves. If they are interested in seeing yours, they will first send theirs.
If you have been speaking to them for less time than 24 hours, it is possible that they have just created an account and have not had the time to complete it 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.
What is it wrong to do online dating?
To be successful on any social network site, you must have a strong profile and build a network. Then, use this network to reach other people who are also searching for love.
You should ensure your profile is well-written and attractive. People should find your profile interesting enough to click the link.
You want them also to see you're willing and able to make a difference in building relationships. Don't post photos of yourself taken years ago.
Upload photos of yourself and your interests to show off your best attributes.
Be sure to complete your profile. You might appear older if someone sees you wearing glasses.
Tell potential dates if you're divorced that you're single. Don't lie if you're still married.
Do not send messages that sound desperate, or needy. Keep your messages short and sweet.
Don't ask someone out before you know how they feel about you. Never send money to someone you do not know.

How To
How to have a successful first date with a guy
First dates are nerve-wracking. You want everything to go smoothly without any awkwardness. So how do you make sure your first date goes well? These are some tips that will ensure things run smoothly.
-
Prepare a plan in advance. You shouldn't just show-up at his house and assume he'll let you in. You should have a plan. Make sure to bring the right clothes if you aren't sure what you'll wear. Also, if you haven't planned anything else, don't forget to pack a small gift (a bottle of wine would be perfect). This way, you won't feel like you're trying too hard.
-
Be yourself. It is not okay to be with someone you don’t feel like. Showing interest in him/her and being yourself should be a top priority.
-
Dress to impress. Ladies who dress well are admired by men. You should feel confident and show that you care about how you look.
-
Discuss music. Another conversation starter is music. Ask him which music he enjoys listening to and which songs make him feel happy. It's easier for you to talk about a song if you have shared a similar experience.
-
Be aware of where you're going before you go. Ask people you know who have been to similar events. Look for places you can have fun and still enjoy.
-
Keep it light. Avoid discussing serious topics over dinner. These topics tend to make conversations more complicated than they are worth.
-
Smile often. Smiling demonstrates confidence and warmth. Smiling is a great way to relax and it can also help you feel positive.
-
Tell him about your stories. Share a story about a funny thing that happened to you. Tell him about an interesting topic you've been reading.
-
Look him in the eyes. Eye contact shows respect and affection. You show interest by looking him in the eye and let him see that you're listening.
-
You should take advantage of opportunities. Try to find opportunities to hold hands or touch each other. These simple gestures can help you build trust between your two.
-
Pay attention. Talking is great but listening is better. Listening shows that your care for him and you are interested to learn more about him.
-
Enjoy yourself. This doesn't work. You're doing it for a purpose -- to get closer with God. This shouldn't be considered work. Remember to have fun. Enjoy every moment and have fun.
-
Follow-up. Send him an SMS message after your date. You are very grateful for meeting him and for showing your appreciation. Let him understand that you are interested in continuing to speak with him.
-
Keep your eyes open for the positive. Don't dwell on the fact that your first date didn't go as planned. Focus on the positives. You met someone new and got to spend quality, time with him. And you discovered his interests.
-
Stay open-minded. Don't close yourself off to men simply because you've only dated one person. Be open enough to let a man in your life.
