I Love You But I’m Not in Love With You: 7 Steps to Saving Your Relationship
by Andrew G. Marshall
If you feel the relationship you have with your significant other is defined more by companionship than passion or if you feel that something’s missing or is no longer there, then this book will help you build a stronger, more passionate bond.
If the relationship you have with your significant other is defined more by companionship than passion… if you love each other deeply but are not deeply in love… if you feel that something’s missing or is no longer there… then you could be experiencing ILYB (I Love You, But…).
In I Love You, but I’m Not in Love with You — a real-life relationship guide from couples’ counselor Andrew G. Marshall — partners and individuals who have ‘fallen out of love’ or want to rekindle the love that once was will learn how to use Marshall’s program with impressive results.
This is a much-needed book to help men and women of all ages in any type of committed romantic relationship to truly understand love and to point out the everyday habits that undermine growing together. Marshall’s research is one of the few that delves into what causes relationships to ‘cool’ or for emotions to be ‘dulled.’ So much more than a quick-fix guide, I Love You, but I’m Not In Love with You empowers couples to emerge with a better understanding of themselves and each other, and ultimately build a stronger, more passionate bond.
Learn how to:
- Argue productively and address the core of the issue
- Employ the trigger words for more effective communication
- Find a balance between being fulfilled as an individual and being one half of a couple
- Discover if the ILYB is simply a symptom of a workable problem
- Take your sex life to a deeper level of intimacy
- Create new bonds instead of searching for the old ones

The Marriage Book: How to Build a Lasting Relationship
Nicky and Sila Lee
The Marriage Book is a good written-out version of a marriage-building course. Individual churches, and many courses and retreats, such as Mission to Marriage, Marriage Encounter and Rapport, provide structured resources.
…The best of these are very helpful: they give time and space to be together, perspective on issues in one’s marriage, biblical teaching, practical application of the gospel in the relationship, and a set of principles or aspects of marriage which can be kept permanently under review. Obviously nothing fully substitutes for the experience of going through a course with one’s spouse and in a group with others, but The Marriage Book is a very successful book form version. It is well-written, with a very natural style, like a personal chat. What is more, the content is of one of the better of such courses. The book gives seven elements of the marital relationship which put together form a strong marriage, or strengthen a marriage. Commitment; communication; expressing love; resolving conflict; forgiveness; right relationships with parents; sex. This is a good choice of features. They summarize the lessons of these sections in seven neat injunctions:
- Be sure to make time for each other and have fun together
- Keep talking and keep listening to each other
- Study the ways your partner feels loved
- Discuss your differences and pray together
- Practise forgiveness
- Honour your parents but do not be controlled by them
- Do not neglect sexual intimacy.
Love and Respect
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
We believe love best motivates a woman and respect most powerfully motivates a man. Research reveals that during marital conflict a husband most often reacts when feeling disrespected and a wife reacts when feeling unloved.
We asked 7,000 people this question: when you are in a conflict with your spouse or significant other, do you feel unloved or disrespected? 83% of the men said “disrespected.” 72% of the women said, “unloved.” Though we all need love and respect equally, the felt need differs during conflict, and this difference is as different as pink is from blue!

Dr. Gary Chapman

Ready/Relate Couples Surveys
Relate Institute
“Relate-Institute” 276 Question Survey identifying areas of strength and needs for improvement in a relationship. Online scoring and evaluation.
From the website:
RELATE was developed by the Marriage Study Consortium at Brigham Young University. Founded in 1979, the Marriage Study Consortium is a non-profit organization with the specific tasks of developing research and outreach tools that can be used directly with the public and that can be used to gather information about relationships. The consortium consists of a group of scholars, researchers, family life educators, and counselors from varied religious and educational backgrounds who are dedicated to strengthening and understanding premarital and marital relationships.
RELATE is the most comprehensive premarital/marital assessment available. The first version of this instrument was developed by Wesley R. Burr and was called Marital Inventories (1980). After 10 years of successful use with premarital couples it was replaced by the PREParation for Marriage (PREP-M), which was also primarily focused on the premarital relationship. In the fall of 1997, RELATE was released. This new version of the questionnaire was designed for use with individuals or couples who are single and unattached, steady dating, engaged, cohabiting, married, or contemplating remarriage. Tens of thousands of couples and individuals have benefited from these questionnaires during the past 20 years.

A Return To Modesty, Discovering the Lost Virtue
by Wendy Shalit
A Return to Modesty shows why “the lost virtue” of modesty is not a hang-up that we should set out to cure, but rather a wonderful instinct to be celebrated.
A Return to Modesty reignites Wendy Shalit’s controversial claim that we have lost our respect for an essential virtue: modesty.
When A Return to Modesty was first published in 1999, its argument launched a worldwide discussion about the possibility of innocence and romantic idealism. Wendy Shalit was the first to systematically critique the “hook-up” scene and outline the harms of making sexuality so public.
Today, with social media increasingly blurring the line between public and private life, and with child exploitation on the rise, the concept of modesty is more relevant than ever. Updated with a new preface that addresses the unique problems facing society now, A Return to Modesty shows why “the lost virtue” of modesty is not a hang-up that we should set out to cure, but rather a wonderful instinct to be celebrated.
A Return to Modesty is a deeply personal account as well as a fascinating intellectual exploration into everything from seventeenth-century manners to the 1948 tune “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Beholden neither to social conservatives nor to feminists, Shalit reminds us that modesty is not prudery, but a natural instinct — and one that may be able to save us from ourselves.
