A revolutionary guide for couples seeking more love, closeness, and mutual understanding in the modern world.
Nate and Kaylee Klemp long believed that marriage should be built on a 50/50 principle, where partners contribute equally to shared life. However, when trying to divide household responsibilities, they often ended up fighting. Endless arguments and squabbles made them wonder: is the 50/50 model really ideal, and are they truly doing everything right?
As a result, they developed a new model, which they called 80/80. This concept of “radical generosity” suggests that for the strongest and happiest relationships, each partner should give not 50, but 80 percent of their time and effort to the family. This model helps avoid needless comparisons and resentment over who “does more”, and puts the relationship itself first—not one spouse over the other.
The authors present results from scientific research, analyze the historical context, share stories of couples, and most importantly, offer concrete practical tools to help you shift to the 80/80 model—preserving your marriage and becoming closer to each other.
