Dutch Love Treat

One thing I love here in The Nederlands is that, most people speak English. We joined Theo and Ads at the table and had really interesting conversation. Afterwards I took charge of a business conference with their wives. The ladies appeared respected and loved by their husbands. At the end of the night, I knew I like better the way people live and relate here than in Italy.

I remember Eugene, a country manager from Malaysia said: “Do you know what is the secret of our happy marriage? My wife and I had an agreement: inside the house she is the queen and there’s no king. Whatever she says and does I accept and respect. But when we’re outside, I am the king and there’s no queen: no insults, no high pitch voice no frustrated gestures.”

Taking from this two scenarios, one thing is clear: deep respect for each other. Life may not be sunny all the time, but when two people decide to love each other, there’s no excuses for bad attitudes.
