Earlier this year, my wife and I celebrated 25 years of marriage. When we announced this milestone to several friends and colleagues they were genuinely thrilled for us—because, sadly, many marriages don't last the test of time. Rather than working together over a lifetime, couples seem to reach for divorce proceedings when the going gets a bit tough. In our case, I could not have achieved what I have without my wife. I'd like to think I've reciprocated to help her realise her dreams.

I'm a firm believer that behind (actually, beside) every good man is a very capable woman. Together, more is possible. It's as simple as that.
