Anyone know of any good books that will help with understanding relationships? I've heard people mention some from time to time in other posts, but maybe they could be consolidated here.

Wild at Heart, by John Eldredge - helps men and women understand why men do some of the things they do, based on the Bible.



Captivating, by John and Staci Eldredge - pretty much the same as Wild at Heart except focuses on women.



Both are EXCELLENT books!! I think everyone should read them!!

"Wild at Heart" and "Captivating" are excellent (I've not read "Wild..." but I have read "Captivating".) Also you might try "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "Boy Meets Girl". Someone just recently recommended a book called "The Ten Commandments of Dating". I haven't read it yet, but it looks promising.

I can concur on Wild At Heart and Captivating as well.



I also recommend "The Proper Care And Feeding Of Marriages" by Dr. Laura. Marriage might be FAR into the future for you.... but it's still a good book to read because marriages ARE only further depths and extensions of a real relationship.



I really think you would benefit from "He-Motions" by T.D. Jakes.



I'll try to think of a few more....

5 love languages by Gary Chapman

His needs, Her needs by Willard Farly Jr.

I also read a good book on purity in relationships by Kris Valotton called "Purity the moral revolution"

Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris is a really good book on relationships.



Every Woman's Battle by Shannon Ethridge is also good...geared more for women, there is Every Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn i believe...

Here's one for you remp....

Our Singles Ministry had a bible study a few years back using this book. It was a good study.
