Dr. Ronke Dosunmu ("Dr. Dos") is a board-certified physician with decades of clinical experience, a former global pharmaceutical executive, and an executive coach to high-achieving women. Across medicine and industry, she noticed a pattern: accomplished women are trained for every leadership role except the one at home. So she founded School of Wife, which teaches marriage as a learnable leadership skill. Her signature framework, Functional, Nourishing, Flourishing, shows women how to build the systems that make a marriage function, the skills that make it nourishing, and the room for a woman to flourish, at home and at work. Her diagnosis-first approach has helped women enjoy their marriages again by identifying what is really wrong and applying the right solution. Her writing has appeared on KevinMD. She enjoys her own marriage of more than 37 years.
Helping high-achieving women build marriages as intentional as their careers. I want to change how a generation sees wifehood: wife is no longer a four-letter word. Marriage isn't a talent. It's a skill, and skills can be learned.
When our kids were growing up, I'd often say, "That's Daddy's department." Not because he helped with it, but because he owned it: the noticing, the deciding, the follow-through. "School forms are my department" was true in our house too. Our kids are grown now, and those departments still stand. After 37 years, I've learned that a long marriage isn't one design. It's a series of redesigns. The couples who thrive in the second half are the ones who stop running on arrangements they made in the first.
When my daughter was getting ready for marriage, I realized there was no good teaching to prepare her. Like so many women, I had learned marriage from inherited scripts and imperfect examples. As I built a curriculum for her, I saw that the women around me, many married for decades, needed it just as much: not to start over, but to redesign. That became School of Wife.
