#5 101 Questions to Ask Before You Get Engaged by H. Norman Wright
The reason why I'm recommending this book is because it facilitates a conversation between the couple about real life issues such as: finances, past relationships, childhood upbringing, etc. I remember before I got engaged, I thought the only requirement to have a successful marriage was to love each other. But I've learned after 4 years of marriage that you need way more than love. You also need communication, sex and an agreement to finances. This book helps you communicate on a deeper level that helps you establish a stronger relationship for marriage.

#6 Loving Bravely by Alexandra H. Solomon
Loving Bravely by Alexandra Solomon is a must read for individuals and couples alike. This book is an exploration of self, self in a relationship and strategies or lessons on how to make your relationship even stronger. I wouldn't get engaged before you have done the work in this book to learn more about yourself, history and how it will affect your relationship.
