50/50 Marriage: Revised edition

In this groundbreaking and newly updated book, Gayle Kimball, Ph.D. draws on interviews with 150 pioneering couples and decades of social science research to reveal how partners can move beyond outdated stereotypes of knights in shining armor and storybook princesses to become equal, caring partners. At a time when many marriages struggle or end in divorce, these forward-thinking couples demonstrate how to build lasting relationships based on shared responsibility, mutual respect, friendship, and commitment. Blending compelling real-life stories with the latest research on communication, parenting, conflict resolution, intimacy, and the equitable division of household labor, 50/50 Marriage offers practical, evidence-based guidance for creating a modern partnership that is both fair and deeply fulfilling.

A welcome study. Without glossing over the problems, it shows how 150 real couples are dealing with this new kind of marriage. We are indebted to them and to Kimball.
