Marriage, part time work, and dads. Work life balance stories.

A piece in The Guardian about the state of marriage. Britain has introduced a financial incentive to marry. Scans recent publications and studies. Interesting.

And a story about two women who started a service matching women who want to work part time with employers.

A piece in the New York Times, like a recent story in the Sydney Morning Herald, reports that dads are now overworked, under-appreciated, and stressed.

And that the future of feminism may well rely on men.

Conclusion? We're still struggling with work/life balance.
