The 80/80 Marriage: A New Model for a Happier, Stronger Relationship by Nate Klemp, PhD, and Kaley Klemp Every relationship is bound to hit rough patches, and working through them can be just as trying as the problems themselves.

Inspired by frustrations within their own relationship, the Klemps developed the “80/80 Method,” which encourages focusing on radical generosity and shared success instead of fixating on score-keeping and fairness.
