Do you work for the same company or organisation as your husband or wife?

Or maybe the two of you are thinking of setting up a business together?

Here are five top tips for working with your spouse and staying happily married:

  • Resolve to keep work and home life as separate compartments- always take off your business hats at the end of the working day. Don’t let a business dilemma become a topic of conversation at the dinner table in the evening, and don’t let a personal disagreement at home have a knock-on effect in the office.
  • Always be respectful, whether at home or at work. If one of you is subordinate to the other at work this shouldn’t affect how much respect you give each other.
  • However busy life may get, spend quality time together every week and have some fun. Keep this ‘couple time’ sacred and don’t let work pressures interfere with your plans.
  • You will both benefit from having your own individual space, including time to pursue your personal hobbies and interests, and possibly having separate offices if it’s practical.
  • People are different, so find out what works for you as a couple. Your marriage should come first, so if working together becomes difficult, one of you can always find another job!
