Sean: Dan asks, are there challenges in working with a spouse?

My answer Dan would be, it is the most amazing thing for me. I have nothing that I would say is a challenge with working with Apple. Maybe it's just because it's Apple and she's a brilliant, fantastic, loving person that is so easy to work with.

Apple: Of course there are challenges. We are very Yin and Yang, right? But Dan, it's very enjoyable. It’s very challenging, but you have to set clear lines. I think it's all about setting clear lines. Where do you set the line between this is your turf, this is mine, this is your responsibility, and this is mine? And it's all about respect. Even if you don't agree with your spouse or you don't agree with how he or she does things, respect and trust. Trust him, trust her that he will pull through, and he or she will be the one to fix the mess that he or she creates. And yeah, that will also grow your spouse and grow you as the spouse.

So there are a lot of challenges. I'm sure even just having a spouse has challenges and working with one also has its own set. But I also want to be very honest with the listeners that we don't have much challenges, Sean and I, to start with in terms of working together. Because again, there are clear boundaries set by him and by me. And I also respect that we have similar work ethics. We like getting things done and we like doing things excellently. So I think standards have to be set as well when you work with your spouse.

Also as a spouse, so I'm his wife. So as a wife, remember that he is your leader whether you are in the house or outside the house. So that is for the wives out there. It's God's design that we submit to our husbands, no matter how hard it is, but we submit because we know that it is His will, and it is really through Him that we are submitting to, and not always to our husbands.

And also, we don't just take matters into our own hands. I'm talking to the wives that when we don’t like something, we do something, you know, we take matters into our own hands, we change the course, or we suddenly just don’t follow because that's going to affect the whole team. It's not just about a husband and wife this time or a family, it's the whole team. You should know that in the bigger picture of things and the bigger mesh of things, it's your husband or your spouse that leads you and leads the whole team. Yeah.

Sean: Perfect. Yeah. And Dan I leave you with these very, very wise words that I heard before from Comedy Central. What do you want to be? Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy? So think about that.
