Very helpful without being preachy

The definitive "The Americans"

Love Is a Choice Workbook
Robert Hemfelt, Frank Minirth, ...

Don't be fooled by the children
who threw a tantrum because this book included Christian principles and therefore gave it only one star. It's very easy to read and makes VERY CLEAR points. You can not read this book and fail to understand codependency (which most of us suffer to some small degree) ...
