Quotes by Jennifer Petriglieri (?)

“most advice for couples focuses on their personal relationship, not the way it intersects with professional dreams. Even then, couples are bombarded with blanket prescriptions on what they should do: “Divide the housework equally,” “Strike a balance between life and career,” “Make time for one another”—none of which have helped couples become clearer about, let alone learn how to satisfy, their deepest needs in work and in love.”
― Jennifer Petriglieri, Couples That Work: How To Thrive in Love and at Work
