The Balancing Act

Nedra Glover Tawwab

Nedra Glover Tawwab is a therapist and the author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace. In this book she looks at the balance between depending on other people and protecting yourself. Giving too much can cost you your sense of self, and holding back too much can leave you isolated. She covers codependency, hyper independence and attachment styles, and each chapter ends with reflection prompts.

I chose it because marriage asks you to depend on another person, and this book helps you work out what healthy dependence looks like.
