Most couples can't survive working together, but Herbert and Cheritha Doucet built a thriving catering business while staying married for 26 years. In this episode of Love Lately, Lee Rogers sits down with the founders of La Joie Catering to expose the real secrets behind entrepreneurship in marriage. The Doucet's reveal why liking your spouse matters more than loving them when business stress hits. They break down the energy management strategies that prevent resentment, the boundary-setting system that saved their weekends, and why they pattern their entire life off one income despite two careers. Cheritha shares what it takes mentally to stay married to an entrepreneur for decades, while Herbert explains why dimming your partner's shine destroys marriages. Discover the calendar blocking technique that protects their relationship, the specific roles each person plays in their business, and why silence sometimes creates the deepest intimacy. Their 26-year journey proves you can chase dreams at any age without sacrificing your marriage. Stop choosing between business success and relationship happiness.
