The 80/80 Marriage

A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship

By: Nate Klemp PhD, Kaley Klemp

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

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.

I really enjoyed the concepts brought to light in this book and the challenge of thought against the 50/50 shared responsibility of marriage.

Brilliant

Practical relevant and helpful for modern marriages or any marriage for that matter

This felt like an updated series of practical tools and examples for a modern marriage from a young couple that have learn the skills the hard way to get through the ultimate test. Time. On top of that doing so and a satisfying and generative relationship. Well done. Great read. I highly recommend this to others.

Recommend this to friends family and patients!

This is fantastic, we’ve already purchased a hard copy for reference and to have easier access to the activities. This is great for all couples, you don’t need to be married to benefit, maybe you’re an old dog learning new ricks and newly cohabitating (like us) - this has really normalized some of the issues we’re struggling with AND helps us to mitigate and minimize conflict. Really glad I found this, I think you will be too.
