About this audiobook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Dr. Edward Podolsky, a pioneer in the field of self-help and marriage advice, wrote a book in 1945 called Sex Today in Wedded Life. He offered confidential advice on everything from the harmfulness of masturbation to the frequency of sex in marriage. #2 The 80/20 model is based around asymmetrical power and inequality. It is designed to be a reflection of the spirit of contribution, which is a measure not only of who’s doing the dishes but also of who’s managing conflicts, looking ahead to big decisions, and thinking of ways to strengthen the marriage. #3 The 80/20 model of marriage is still present today, albeit in a milder form. It is clear and easily identifiable when it comes to the business world, where women are paid less than men. But it shows up in invisible ways, and is no less corrosive on our aspiration to marital equality. #4 The most recent data shows that when it comes to the amount of time spent on household work, most heterosexual couples are far from achieving equality. The average dad spends around eight hours on childcare and ten hours on chores each week, while the average mother spends eighteen hours on childcare and eighteen hours on chores each week.
