Nate and his wife have both led successful careers consulting for high-powered companies around the world. Their work as mindfulness and leadership Experts, however, often fell to the wayside in the evenings when they found themselves 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 a limited idea of fairness towards a new model grounded on radical generosity and shared success, all outlined in the book. Listen in for some great takeaways about mindfulness and building a happy marriage.
