Relationship is the subgenre of marriage books. Although marriage books typically love stories, stories of this genre focus more on the marital journey of the characters. The psychological drive of books of this genre is intimacy, so, therefore, many tropes can be plotted out in marriage books.
Examples are protagonists having a crossroads in their relationship, the love dries out and infidelity comes in. Another trope in this genre is the stranger-to-lovers love story. This is usually present in stories with an arranged marriage premise. The protagonists barely know each other when entering marriage but then fall in love in the end.
However, the best-selling marriage books nowadays are those with a plot that tackles cheating, betrayal, and revenge.

“Why is it so hard for you to even try?! You are making me play this cruel game!” she snarled lowly. “I hate lying!” “Well, you just have to suck it up,” I told her. She let her arms fall, only to clench her hands into tight fists like she was ready to punch me.

But then I heard voices coming closer, and instead, I wrapped my arms around Megan, pulling her against me, before turning us and pressing her up against the counter. “What are you-“ But she didn’t get to finish that sentence before I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. We hadn’t kissed before. She hadn’t let me at the wedding and instead turned her head at the last second, so I kissed her cheek.
