Marriage counseling is a method for providing psychotherapy for a married couple. It tries to resolve problems in the relationship. Usually, both the partners attend counseling sessions together to work out specific issues and try to put together the relationship. For couples not willing to really go and meet with a counselor, books provide the best alternative. There is enough reading material available for couples to resort to in times of crisis.
Books such as Hope-Focused Marriage Counseling: A Guide to Brief Therapy by Everett L. Worthington can help troubled couples. In her book, Everett L. Worthington, Jr. offers a hope- focused approach that helps couples to see that change is feasible. It also touches upon managing the home front with stifling, tight budgets and other problems being faced by a couple.
Effectiveness of Couple Counseling by Misty Will, MSW, is another book available. The author claims that problems in a marriage are best solved between the couple themselves. The book also deals with the present day problems, such as running a household on a tight budget. She also feels that couples today feel isolated as they do not have the support of extended families and this results in increased stress and finally, separation.
Some of the other famous books and authors on this topic are Marriage Counseling: A Christian Approach to Counseling Couples by Everrett L. Worthington, Intimate Relationships by Sharon Stephens Brehm and Solving Marriage Problems by Jay E. Adams and Why marriages succeed or fail and how you can make your marriage last by John Gottman.
These books also help to deal with issues like communication skills, relationship advice, developing intimacy, rekindling romance and understanding your spouse. Books are truly man’s best friend and can help many a couple tide over the difficult periods and come to an understanding.
