Each married woman has their own way of working toward a successful long-term marital life.

According to Liliana Tanoesoedibyo, the wife of political party leader and businessman Hary Tanoesoedibyo, honesty, loyalty and the ability to respect one another are of principal importance in a marriage.

“There should not be things that are hidden between the husband and wife,” she said in a webinar, “Inspiring Women Along With Successful Men”, in Jakarta recently. The webinar, organized by Rumah Maharani, was part of an event called WOW Story, which was moderated by Esra Manurung, founder of Maharani Foundation, with Loly Hutapea as MC.

Liliana, the executive chairwoman of MNC Group, who is also well-known as a socialite and expert in beauty and fashion, said that commitment, openness and communication were prerequisites to building a good relationship.

She revealed there were specific challenges that she and her husband faced when they pursued studies in Canada back when she was 19 years old.

They decided to build a family while they were there, which meant they had to manage their time caring for their child while attending lectures on campus.
