#NFNov It looks at marriage in different cultures. Piazza visits different places to understand what makes a marriage work and what doesn‘t. She tries to look objectively without letting her preconceptions come in the way. The best advice is from Michelle Obama, “If you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don‘t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list.”

#TIL about “the stock and bond approach to the marital division of labor. One spouse has to be the bond, the one without risk, with a dependable payout. If that‘s the case, the other can be the stock, focusing on something that could pay off big in the long-term. Of course it‘s only fair if the partners keep switching who is the stock and who is the bond“

This seems interesting and something that can be implemented.

#TIL that “Peter Pearson‘s acronym “TEAM” stands for “Together Each Accomplishes More.” “When you do something on your own, you aren‘t as successful,” he said. “You and your partner need to have an agreement to coach one another, to tell one another what works for you and what doesn‘t work for you. When you start doing that, your relationship really starts to hum and the hidden capacities of the team start to surface.”

#TIL that marriage is “an equal sharing of the road. I suspect the best marriages are when you‘re both submitting to each other and allowing the other person to feel safest during their most vulnerable moments, and shine at their best.”

Have read this in other books but this resonates as it also defines submission in marriage. #NFNov

#TIL that both men and women have a strong need “for adventure, for novelty, for mystery, for risk, for danger, for the unknown, for the unexpected, surprise, for journey, for travel.”

Reminder to keep surprising your partner, and taking care of yourself too!
