My husband and I have reached 12 years of marriage. Yay!! We have learned from each other, seen each other at our best and worst, and made mistakes. We have also learned from those who came before us through marriage books and resources. As our anniversary date approached (I'm writing this 2 months early!!), I started reflecting on the formative books that shaped my perspective and actions in our marriage. Below is a list (in no particular order) of the books that have shaped me the most!
