Sharon Meers Reveals the Secret to a Happy Marriage
(PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- Sharon Meers is the coauthor of Getting to 50/50: How Working Parents Can Have it All, released today. She recently wrote an article for LeanIn.org which reveals "The Secret to an Equal Marriage." Sharon's suggestion is constant communication.
"When men are open-minded and women feel empowered to say what they want, that’s when fairness has a chance. In my experience, most guys want to share the way they see the world—and sometimes just voicing how they feel helps men imagine new possibilities."
Sharon Meers writes that women should not be afraid to keep jobs that are important to them, even after they get married and have children. "Whether your job pays a lot or a little, what’s key is saying out loud that it matters to you. Having meaningful work—that builds your skills, gets you excited and can feed a family if you want one—is equally important for women and men."
