That support that I have, and I wish that for every woman and every husband. We, women, are going to power through and do what we want to do. But if we have our partner's support, it becomes sweeter. It just makes us feel nice. It's not as if we are giving that much importance, but what happens is when they are with us in this journey of ours, it just feels complete.”
