One day, Thomas B. Wheeler, CEO of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and his wife were walking along the interstate highway when he realized his car was almost out of gasoline. Wheeler immediately exit the highway and soon found a dilapidated gas station and only have one charger gasoline engine. After telling the only officer there to fill his car and check the oil, he walks around the gas station to stretch his legs.
When he returned to the car, he saw the officer was deep in conversation with his wife. Their conversation stopped when he paid the clerk. But when they wanted to get into the car, he saw the officer waved his hand and she heard him say, "This is fun to chat with you."
After they left the gas station, Wheeler asked his wife if she knew the man. His wife immediately said yes. They had one in high school and never went about a year.
"God, thank God you see me," said Wheeler boasted. "If you marry him, you be the wife of a gas station attendant, not the president's wife!"
"My dear ...," she replied," If I married him, he will become president and you are going to be a gas station attendant. "

Wisdom of this story: many people who become successful because of support from women who became his wife. Conversely, not least also the man who falls and breaks down because women who marry.
Indeed, marriage is the union of two forces that effort if it managed to do so too will we achieve success (despite the need to first - and also takes a long time - through a variety of obstacles).
