Each chapter contains a case study about how a couple saved a relationship. This book will help you to avoid arguments and stagnation in your relationships.
Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages
Despite its popularity, Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages for couples has a few shortcomings. First, it understates the damage done by these languages. His book, while it contains valuable information and a lot of useful advice, also downplays the importance of sacrifice and the need to heal a toxic relationship. Although the idea is valuable, it should be used with caution. This book may not prove useful to those in abusive relationships.

Dr. John M. Gottman's Request for Connection
Dr. John M. Gottman’s theory on quality relationships is based on the notion of bids. Bids, in essence, are requests to be connected. They can be very small or very large, verbal, nonverbal (serious or funny), or a combination of both. It's no surprise that the bidding process is considered to be one of the most important components of successful relationships.

FAQ
Is Bumble a good choice for serious relationships?
The app allows users the ability to create profiles where they can upload photos, and short messages to other members. Matches are made based upon mutual interests. Both may exchange direct messages with each other if they are willing to date.
The app also offers an option for women who want to find men with similar interests. It is available for download free of charge from iTunes.
Because it functions in the same way as Tinder, Bumble has been likened to Tinder.
However, unlike Tinder users cannot see photos of potential matches until they have sent a message.
Why did he phone me back?
After they meet up, many men call girls back. This is known as "calling home".
It's a sign he loves you and wants to continue the conversation. He could have been busy at work or had another issue. But he wanted a chance to speak with you again.
He might think that you are funny and cute. This is why he called you back.
It is a sign that he was interested and able to speak with you.
So don't take his phone number away when he calls you back. He will keep calling you back.
Once you get the number of a man, you will be able text him any time you like.
This is very important. You are giving permission for a man to call you at any time he wants.

What should you do on your first date?
Don't talk all night about yourself. It's boring!
You shouldn't just ask questions because they seem easy. If she replies yes, you'll know what she wants.

Instead, ask her about herself. Ask her if she loves a certain food, drink.
You will enjoy one another's company, and you will feel closer to one another.

How To
How to have a successful date with a guy
First dates are nerve-wracking. You want everything to be smooth and without any awkwardness. How can you make sure your first meeting goes well? Here are some tips to keep things flowing smoothly.
-
Plan ahead. Don't just show up at his house and hope he'll take you out. Make sure you have a game plan in place. It doesn't matter what clothes you wear, so be sure to have something that fits your needs. Don't forget to bring something small, even a gift. This will ensure that you don't feel pressured or overworked.
-
Be yourself. It's not good to meet someone who isn't genuine. You should show interest in him/her, and be yourself.
-
Dress to impress. The men love women who dress classy, but still look good. Dress up in a way that makes you feel confident, but also lets him know that you are concerned about your appearance.
-
Talk about music. Music is another great conversation starter. Ask him what music he likes and what songs keep him happy. When you have a shared experience, it's easier to talk about a song.
-
Know where you're going beforehand. Ask others who have been on similar dates to you online. Find places you enjoy and that are still fun.
-
Keep it light. Do not discuss serious subjects at dinner. These topics are likely to lead to heated discussions.
-
Smile often. Smile often and you will show your confidence and warmth. Smiling can help you relax and give off positive vibes.
-
Please share your stories. Tell him about a humorous story you have just heard. You might also tell him about a topic that interests you.
-
Pay attention to his eyes. Eye contact shows respect and affection. If you are able to look at him in the eyes, it shows that you care about him and lets him know you are listening.
-
Use every opportunity. Try to find opportunities to hold hands or touch each other. These simple gestures build trust and can be shared with your partner.
-
Listen intently. Talking is great but listening is better. Listening shows that you care about him and are interested in learning more about him.
-
Enjoy yourself. This isn't a good idea. Yes, you're doing all these activities for a reason -- so you can get closer to him. It doesn't have to feel like work. Keep having fun. Have fun, laugh as much as you can, and take in every second of it.
-
Follow-up. Send him a message after your date. Thank you for taking the time to meet and letting him know he was nice to you. Let him know you would like to continue the conversation.
-
Think positively. Do not dwell on your first date, even if it wasn't what you hoped for. Instead, think about the positives: You got to meet someone new, you had quality time with him and you learned more about his interests.
-
Keep an open mind. Keep in touch with men even if you have only ever dated one. Give yourself permission to be vulnerable and allow men into your life.
