Assalamu alaykum,

(An introduction to) Islamic Marriage by Shaykha Hedaya Hartford is very good.

Ma’Salama,

Nawaf

there are a few that you could check out:

the muslim family vol 1: the quest for love & marriage (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/musfambook1q.html)
the muslim family vol 2: closer than a garment (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b6202.html)
the muslim family vol. 3: fragile vessles (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/musfambook3f.html)

here's the full 4 book set if you want:
the muslim family set (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/musfambook13.html). this is a pretty good set of books. i have them in my library but have only read bits and parts.

there's also this book: etiquettes of marriage (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b3249.html), which is pretty good, although short.

there's also this: the ruling of looking at the one propsed to for marriage (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b3260.html). this one talks about what you're allowed to see and what you're not allowed to see of each other when you propose.

and this one: the righteous wife (http://www.islamicbookstore.com/b3259.html). it talks about the rights of the wife and her responsibilities and whatnot.

i have all, if not most of these books and they're all pretty good. hope this helps, inshaa'allaah.

This is quite good. :)

Simple and easy to understand.

A tip: Give it to your cousin before the actual wedding. ;) :D
