Not sure the story fits 100% into the context of this thread, but had a chance to glance at the reinvigorated TRUE LOVE with Ms.Sue Muraya of Suraya Properties on the cover.
The fashion designer joined her husband's (architect) dream to create homes and this high profile marketing entrepreneur, toast of the female crop, had some gems of wisdom.
WIFE:
--In the evening when I go home, I am completely 'wife'. It might have been a a hard day but I have to remember to cook and iron his shirts.
--It also helps I am God fearing. I don't want to step on toes. You have to know how to be submissive. I don't forget that.
--As a woman, do not worry if people say you spend too much time with your husband; if you are happy, you are happy. And I got lucky with my man. He understand's me.
--I am around my husband all day. I am very particular about how I dress up. He notices my hair and that I'm a proper lady.
HUSBAND:
--Sue is a good marketer, we ended up being the perfect team.
--SHE is the secret weapon. Sometimes it really annoys us as architects. We draw what we think is a really good house and she says she will not sell it. We have learnt not to go far without her - she is very important.
