What if striving for fairness is actually driving disconnection in your relationship? We’ve been sold the idea of a 50/50 partnership—that equal contribution is the key to love—but real life, stress, parenting, and ambition often make that impossible. In this episode, Julie and Yue sit down with husband-and-wife team Nate and Kaley Klemp, authors of The 80/80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship, to explore a new framework for connection. Drawing from mindfulness, leadership, and high-performance coaching, they share how radical generosity—giving 80% instead of keeping score—can build a stronger, more resilient partnership.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why the 50/50 Mindset Can Erode Connection and Foster Resentment
• How Radical Generosity Creates a Thriving Partnership
• The Role of Equity Theory in Relationship Satisfaction
• How to Navigate Key Transitions from Dating to Cohabitation and Parenthood
• Why Shared Success Matters More Than Equal Input
• How Couples Can Go “All-In” Together Without Burning Out
• Practical Ways to Co-Create a Relationship That Grows Over Time
