Love Honor and Negotiate

📖 The Scoop

A wife and mother herself - and the first woman to direct a major family therapy training institute - Carter has discovered during her twenty-five years in practice that even the most loving relationships still tend to be governed by the Golden Rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules. Couples today want to be equals, but workplace penalties for taking too much family time force us into traditional roles, especially once we have children. Many women who try to do it all end up exhausted and resentful; women who cut back at work, or stop working, sacrifice financial strength and autonomy. But couples can redefine power to create relationships that value nurturing as much as money.
