"Last they could make sure u have good business or they employ one of you for the better tomorrow big wedding or simple wedding never matters, marriage life is journey and not a bed of roses, let me tell u today those companies are selling their brand using your weaknesses and its wrong," Migwi wrote.

We don't think alike, we don't always agree on everything, but we do not argue about it — we discuss it. I recognize the fact that she has her own way of thinking, and I respect that. And I have my own way, and she does the same thing."
"It has worked very well for us. I just decided to let her do the talking, but I reserve the right to get the last word. And that last word would be, 'yes, dear.'"
