  Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.
 
  This is THE book on Imago Relationship Therapy, the type of therapy I have been conducting for the past 16 years.   G.T.L.Y.W. literally transformed my practice and my own personal relationship with my husband. It has been a huge best seller for years and is available in any bookstore. 
 
2. Getting the Love You Want Workbook
  Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Phd.  
     
  This is the companion workbook that goes with Getting the Love You Want.  I highly reocmmend buying two copies so that you can work and benefit from the rich exercises Imago has to offer.  
     
3. Divorce Remedy by Michelle Weiner-Davis  
 

This one is hands down, the most effective book available for those trying to single handedly save a marriage or relationship!  If this describes you in any way, do not pass go, do not collect your $200 - go immediately (as in today/tonight) and buy this book.  You will soon be thanking me.

But this is a terrific book for couples in ALL stages of relationship. So don't get hung up on the name.  It's a pragmatic, solution oriented book, and as such is a gold mine for everyone who has tried everything they can think of to break out of an on-going power struggle without success.

(FYI: do NOT buy Divorce Busting, Michelle's original best seller. Divorce Remedy is a much improved re-write that can be purchased at Amazon or on the author’s website, divorcebusting.com, if not available at the store.)

1. Resurrecting Sex: Resolving Sexual Problems and Rejuvenating Your Relationship.  David Schnarch, Ph.D.
   
  Probably the most highly innovative book on sexuality and relationships available today.  Definitely not a beginner's manual, but highly recommended for adults who are serious about taking their sexual relationship (and more) to the next level!  A terrific book for those interested in learning how to become more "themselves".
     
2. Hot Monogamy: Essential Steps to More Passionate, Intimate Lovemaking.  
  Pat Love, Ed.D. Paper.  
   
  A fantastic book for all couples from one of the country's leading relationship experts.  Contains multiple exercises couples can do together.   
   
3. The New Male Sexuality (Revised Edition)  
  Bernard Zilbergeld, Ph.D.  
   
  Despite the title, this book has actually been around a long time. Most trained sex therapists have used it as the "bible" on male sexuality (for heterosexual males in a committed love relationship).  Though sexual norms have changed a lot in the last 10 or so years, this is still one of the best and most authoritative books available for men and their partners on male sexuality.  
   
4. Sexual Awareness: Couple Sexuality for the Twenty-First Century  
  Barry McCarthy and Emily McCarthy  
   
      Although I have not read this particular book, I have a high respect for Dr. McCarthy and believe you will find any and all of his books extremely lucid, authoritative and helpful.  His approach is down-to-earth approach embodies the best and latest of traditional sex therapy research and practice.
