It's always a good idea to run career promotions involving travel past the mister. From Buzzfeed:

My partner is a bit scared. I try to be at home most nights as we’re a team but the obligations [of being Prime Minister] mean I will have to go abroad a lot. I asked him the day after the election whether it was OK to form a government and he supported me. If he had said no I would have to think whether I could accept it or not - I didn’t want to break up a relationship! We’re a team for good times and bad.

Belgium's prime minister, Elio Di Rupo, also is gay.
