The Three Marriages
Full Description
Each of us must sustain three marriages in our lives: The marriage with our work and society, the marriage—official or not—with our partner, and the deeper marriage with our emerging selves.
To choose between these relationships is to impoverish them all. Work-life balance means creating a real conversation, a live frontier between all three commitments that enriches each one, allowing it to be simultaneously troubled and emboldened by the others. Join David Whyte at his own frontier for a poetic and compelling investigation of these important commitments of a human life.
Please note: This is a lecture given before a live audience in 2005, not a recording of David Whyte's 2009 book, The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self & Other.

About David Whyte
David Whyte grew up with a strong, imaginative influence from his Irish mother among the hills and valleys of his father’s Yorkshire. He now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The author of twelve books of poetry and four books of prose, David Whyte holds a degree in marine zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and Himalaya. He brings this wealth of experience to his poetry, lectures, and workshops. David’s life as a poet has created a readership and listenership in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the literate world of readings that most poets inhabit, the psychological and theological worlds of philosophical inquiry, and the world of vocation, work, and organizational leadership.
