The best books on how to choose spouses, the etiquette of marital relations, and explaining the rights of the spouses are: "Adab Az-Zafaf" (The Etiquette of Wedding) by Sheikh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani, and "Tuhfat Al-Arous" (The Bride's Gift) by Sheikh Mahmoud Mahdi Istanbul. It is important to emphasize consulting trustworthy individuals to ascertain the religious commitment and character of the woman one wishes to propose to, and to perform Istikhara (prayer for guidance), and with this, success will be achieved, Allah willing.
