NAMED ONE OF COSMOPOLITAN'S "15 BEST MARRIAGE BOOKS ALL COUPLES SHOULD READ."
An accessible, transformative guide for couples seeking greater love, connection, and intimacy in our modern world
Nate and Kaley Klemp were both successful in their careers, consulting for high-powered companies around the world. Their work as mindfulness and leadership experts, however, often fell to the wayside when they came home in the evening, only to end up fighting about fairness in their marriage. They believed in a model where each partner contributed equally and fairness ruled, but, in reality, they were finding that balance near impossible to achieve.
From this frustration, they developed the idea of the 80/80 marriage, a new model for balancing career, family, and love. The 80/80 Marriage pushes couples beyond the limited idea of "fairness" toward a new model grounded on radical generosity and shared success, one that calls for each partner to contribute 80 percent to build the strongest possible relationship. Drawing from more than one hundred interviews with couples from all walks of life, stories from business and pop culture, scientific studies, and ancient philosophical insights, husband-and-wife team Nate and Kaley Klemp pinpoint exactly what's not working in modern marriage. Their 80/80 model of marriage provides practical, powerful solutions to transform your relationship and open up space for greater love and connection.

      Although an even division of household chores, childcare, and finances seems like an ideal for a modern marriage (as opposed to the 80/20 relationship of our parents), Nate and Kaley Klemp have doubts about its success. After interviewing both same-sex and hetero couples and examining their own 15-year union, the Klemps are proposing a different strategy, an 80/80 marriage, in which each spouse strives to contribute 80-percent to the relationship. While the 50/50 split leads to scorekeeping and battles over fairness, the 80/80 effort puts the emphasis on ""us"" rather than "me." Marriage becomes a team sport based on shared values and radical generosity. It all begins with a shift in mindset so that couples pay attention to what they do, see, and say. Setting priorities and boundaries leads to a discussion of power, particularly in the contentious fields of tasks, finances, and sex. Each chapter ends with an "80/80 practice," offering steps for putting the principles into use. In a world focused on the self, it's refreshing to see a solid plan for couples to unselfishly work together.

      While many couples argue over "fairness" in their relationships, philosophy professor Nate Klemp and his wife, executive coach Kaley Klemp, claim that each partner needs to contribute 80 percent to build the strongest possible relationship. Drawing from extensive interviews, research, and psychological studies, they propose a mindset of radical generosity, one organized around enabling shared success that helps navigate roles, priorities, boundaries, power, and sex. The Klemps propose five essential habits, including creating space for connection, revealing issues and misunderstandings as they arise, and sharing mutual successes. VERDICT The book offers helpful insights into the dated preconceptions many couples have when they get married, and positive ways to shift to a new paradigm.
