Marriage Family Relationships

Low-wage workers make up the largest group of employed parents in the United States, yet scant attention has been given to their experiences as new mothers and fathers. Work Matters brings the unique stories of these diverse individuals to light. Drawing on years of research and more than fifteen hundred family interviews, Maureen Perry-Jenkins describes how new parents cope with the demands of infant care while holding down low-wage, full-time jobs, and she considers how managing all of these responsibilities have long-term implications for child development.

This book is a primer for those wishing to seek fulfillment outside the confines of monogamy. As people search for and find their own happiness, the population practicing polygamy will soon grow large enough to have a voice loud enough to change the laws of the land from within.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Bărbaţii şi femeile funcţionează diferit — acesta este un lucru ştiut deja de toată lumea. Ce nu se ştie încă este cum pot fi respectate aceste diferenţe, ba chiar transformate în atuuri. Femeile sunt stresate de cumpărături, dar bărbaţii se descurcă foarte bine dacă sunt înarmaţi cu o listă detaliată. Femeile nu spun exact ce vor să facă bărbaţii, iar aceştia nu înţeleg limbajul indirect al partenerelor lor. Comunicarea în cuplu este un continuu vals, la care, dacă nu respectaţi paşii de dans, o să ajungeţi mereu să vă călcaţi pe picioare. Sau să vă cicăliţi.

What is the ultimate force that holds a marriage together? Love? Sex? Children? Regular tropical vacations? The answer is both very simple and very complex: communication. Communication may sound like a very dry word. After all, it’s just the transfer of information from one person to another. However, communication is the foundation of everything that makes a marriage happy, including love, good sex, and good parenting. Good communication creates an environment of safety, love, and respect.
