Making relationships work in the context of modern life isn’t easy. In addition to the stay-at-home reality of COVID-19 and the dizzying pace of life, today’s couples are faced with an unprecedented relationship challenge: how can you strive for equality without destroying connection and intimacy? 

In this conversation, Kaley Klemp will share the insights from her and her husband’s new book, The 80/80 Marriage. After interviewing over one hundred people, they learned that our go-to strategy of achieving equality in partnerships by making everything 50/50 fair fails to deliver on its promise. Instead, it results in tension, resentment, and often an even greater sense of inequality.

To address the unique challenge faced by this new generation of couples, they outline a new model of relationships: The 80/80 Marriage. It’s a model based on a shift in mindset, from fairness to radical generosity, and a shift in structure, from asking “What’s best for me?” to asking “What’s best for us?” An 80/80 marriage offers a path to being equals while also being in love.

Kaley will help you explore how you can shift in your relationship from a mindset of fairness and resentment to appreciation and radical generosity, and from a structure of winning as an individual to teamwork and shared success.
