I'd like some input on what people thought were some good books. I know some people have talked about them some in posts but it would be easy if we had them all listed together.<p>I have Surving An Affair, After the Affair, and Your Husband, Your Friend. What else is good and has been of help to you??

I just finished reading "When a Mate Wants Out" by Conway & Conway (Zondervan Publishing House, 1992, 206pp). Good, prayerful perspective on rebuilding the marriage. <p>They support many of the same principles found on this site: Work on YOU, Plan A (though they don't call it that), meeting WS emotional needs, etc...<p>I highly recommend this book to BS who are trying to PLAN A....and eventually to WS when they've committed to working on the marriage. I hope my own WS will eventually read it, but I'm not forcing the issue right now.<p>Very good book, hope inspiring!<p>Kev<p>[ October 25, 2001: Message edited by: kevco- ]</p>

I'm also reading "Soul Mates" by Thomas Moore (Harper Collins Publishers, 1994, 259pp)<p>This book is a little difficult to get through at times. There are multiple references to classical psychology and myth. But it gives good perspectives on the inner-workings of relationships ant people.<p>I'm only about 1/4 through, but at this point I would recommend it to BS.<p>Kev

The Divorce Remedy by Michele Weiner-Davis is pretty good, especially with "tactical" advice.<p>I would also second Medved's book listed above. It has provided some good motivation to stick this out.<p>- Tom

I second the recommendations above.<p>Please add "Private Lies" by Frank Pittman. Pretty heavy reading, but packed with insight.

Did anyone mention "Torn Asunder" by Dave Carder? A definite must for the post-A library.<p>(BTW, take a pass on Lusterman, "Infidelity: A Survival Guide".)

Hi there, I agree with all recommendations mentioned above. Especially<p> THE DIVORCE REMEDY<p>I think it is quite similar to Harley's approach. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img]
