"

Always put your husband first.

When your husband says something stupid, say nothing back. Two wrongs don't make a right.

When you come home from work if you're like a VP or a CEO you've got to take that hat off and you've got to become wife. You need to cook and put dinner on the table and then ask your husband if he'd like to help you clean up.

You must both agree your husband is the decision maker and you are his key supportive team member. Even if you make more money.

They said dating is not equal. The guy has to pursue the girl. The guy has to propose. So now that you're married same thing. It's not equal. The guy is the leader and you're just his key member that supports him.
