We all will or should we say many of us will get married sooner or later. Though we are not born to get married, yet for stability in life long term, marriage is a favored institution. Sheryl Sandberg who is an activist, entrepreneur best known for her stint as Facebook COO, has provided a simple advice straight to the point.
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg has told women, Who you marry is the single most important career decision you make. Click To Tweet And she’s right: A study of Harvard Business School graduates (Sandberg received her M.B.A. from Harvard, coincidentally) found that husbands—not kids—were more likely to hold women back from job success.
She advises,
“When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.” ― Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
Though she lost her husband in a home related accident, she has fond memories of him. Her husband was a staunch support for her at all times. We all look for life partners whom we can call friends & share things with them. We need to trust our intuition and take a chance when we find that one person.
As the lyrics of the famous SRK song goes;
There is nothing more special in a marriage than to find a supportive partner.
