B'H' One of my best friends (who happens to be not jewish) is getting married to a wonderful guy and I would love to give them a book that helps them navigate through marriage. I know some jewish ones but they seem not so suitable as they themselves are not exactly religious although very open minded and interested. Can anyone recommend a book that would be a good present and in the spirit of Torah (= not contradicting Torah)?

The Love Languages series is excellent.

I agree with the Love Languages. Also Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus.

And They Were Not Ashamed

I researched this, and as far as I can ascertain, this book is amazing and according to our hashkafa, except that it's Mormon. Maybe you can use it as a start to do more research. Look inside the book on Amazon.

I don't think Passionate Marriage is for everyone- although it was helpful for me when my therapist reccommended it. it deals with mostly intimacy issues and might be a bit too technical and intellectual for the average couple.
What about "The Committed Life" (or is it " The Committed Marriage"?) by Reb. Jungreis? I think it does a good job of presenting Torah wisdom that can be appreciated by anyone while having great stories and a nonjudgmental tone.
