With a rebellious nature often found in the technology world, Mark Zuckerberg really needs a wife who is meticulous, careful and always has a plan like Priscilla Chan. In addition, Mark’s rigidity in social relationships is somewhat alleviated by his wife’s sociability and approachability every time she appears in public.

Since dating, Mark’s wife has set some strict rules for her boyfriend because he is too busy with work at Facebook.
An excerpt from the strict rules says she requires Mark to spend a minimum of 100 minutes alone, away from Facebook, and one date night a week.

Husband’s and wife’s
While Mark Zuckerberg grew up in a well-educated middle-class Jewish family in New York, his wife Priscilla Chan’s situation was completely different. She grew up in a working-class Boston suburb. Chan’s parents barely spoke English and had to work many jobs to make a living.
Since high school, Chan was often bullied because despite being poor, he still studied well and made many of his friends jealous. Even enrolling at Harvard University is thanks to a high school teacher registering for him.
Entering the most prestigious school in the United States, Chan himself did not fit in with countless rich students. To help pay for tuition, Chan had to work part-time.
“I had never seen them before and couldn’t understand why something made of plastic with a bit of leather would cost so much,” said Chan, recalling the sight of rich girls carrying French Longchamp bags on the field. Harvard School.
About Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook is taking a course from Chan but faces the risk of being expelled for building Facemash, a website specializing in evaluating the “hotness” of female students in school.
At a party friends held to “farewell” to Mark, Chan met her future husband and chatted with him while queuing for the restroom. He then invited her and other friends to his dormitory.
“We had the same sense of humor. He was impressed by the fact that I understood the jokes when writing my code. It had the appeal of a computer science geek,” Chan recalls.
Several dates quickly followed. Chan likes Mark but is overwhelmed by his lack of principles.
On their second date, Mark shocked his girlfriend by saying that he should have studied for an exam the next day but would rather spend time with her.
