Nine Thoughts That Can Change Your Marriage by Sheila Wray Gregoire
We all have thoughts about our spouse and marriage that drag us down. Some of the things this book helped us with is that: it is often more constructive to work on changing me instead of trying to change my spouse, “we” matter more than “I”, we need to be more concerned about what our spouses thinks instead of what others think, and that sex is important for a strong marriage.

Essentialism is the practice of learning to say no to anything that stops you from achieving the goals you have set for yourself and family. Most of us end up trying to do everything and we burn out. This book taught us how to not only say no but how to evaluate what is important and what’s not. We can't have it all and we need to decide what we truly want.

The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker
Joshua Becker started on his minimalism journey when one day he realized that spending the whole day cleaning his garage instead of playing with his children was probably the wrong decision. A conversation with his neighbour introduced him to the idea of minimalism. This book walks you through each room of your house to help you take steps to declutter your own home. We were already well aware of the idea of minimalism before reading this book, but it did give us some extra motivation to simplify our clothes and take the next steps in our minimalist journey.
