After reading hundreds of books on marriage, dating and relationships, here are the books that have most shaped my thinking on how to help men with their marriages:
-The Bible (In particular: Love your neighbor as yourself)
-The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
-Leadership And Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute
-Passionate Marriage by David Schnarch
As an honorable mention:
-How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Each of these books give powerful tools and ideas that can help you be a better man and have a better marriage.
Learn more about this in today’s podcast on Strong Men Strong Marriages.

But, books and podcasts are not enough to really transform your marriage.
You have patterns of thoughts, feelings and actions that are deep in your brain.
Learning something new from a book feels good, and maybe you make a few changes… but they don’t last. Because your brain hasn’t been rewired from unattractive to attractive.
To really transform your life… so that you consistently act in Christlike ways towards your wife… even in difficult situations (turning you down for sex, spending too much money, criticizing you, etc)...
You need to:
-Identify and eliminate your negative, unattractive patterns of thinking, feeling and acting
-Replace them with positive, attractive patterns
-Repeat those new patterns until you can’t get them wrong
Now you “win” every interaction with your wife. Because you’re prepared for it. You win by acting in a Christlike way.
That’s what I do as a coach. Help men prepare to “win” in their interactions with their wives by being Christlike men.
When you do that, you feel amazing. You are far more attractive. And you set an example for your children and a legacy to follow.
