Jennifer Lopez has reportedly told friends that she loves being bossed around by hubby Marc Anthony because she believes it is the secret to their relationship's success.

Anthony is allegedly so domineering he even chooses her clothes and tells her what events to go to and what to say, in contrast to her previous lover, "Daredevil" star Ben Affleck who was reportedly too weak, reported the celebrity portal Femalefirst.

"She likes being told what to do. Ben was weak in that regard. She could run roughshod all over him. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's relationship fell apart because there was no spark between them," a friend said.

"She needs that friction, that sort of butting of heads with a man that keeps her on her toes," the friend said.
