I used to work for a married couple at a marketing firm and it was interesting to watch. They would argue endlessly. Anyway, I decided to leave because there was too much drama. Plus the husband started to become flirty with me, which caused friction between his wife (my boss) and myself.

you could work with your spouse depending on where you work and both persons positions. being that his wife was your boss and he became flirty with you that wasn't a good situation. because then it wasn't on the professional level anymore, it then becomes personal. which we know isn't good for the work place.

My wife and I teach together. It is great. Even before teaching we worked together at our last job too. It isn't bad like ppl say. You aren't always around each other at work, you can help each other when needed, and it is a good way to become friends with others (you and spouse can have same friends). Just be sure not to display PDA. A short kiss or hug within the breakroom or a touch on the shoulder or hand is fine but not more. Keep all the good stuff for private in your home. I enjoy working with my wife and would not mind it the rest of my life.

Not only can I, I do work with my spouse, and have for 30 years.
We learned a very long time ago that we needed to separate the two worlds or it would not work. As soon as you cross that line you will destroy both relationships.
We don't fight at all over work issues and any disagreements we have in our personal life have nothing whatsoever to do with working together, but because we work together, we understand each others work load and travel schedules with no need of explanations.
Not many people have the ability to work with their spouses but some do, myself included.

Yes. I could. I was just talking to him about that yesterday. We would have to have defined jobs though because we sometimes both get to the point where we don't want the other telling the one what to do, but not usually. We might do it someday with the right franchise. Maybe after we retire. That's waaay in the future!
Funny (kinda bad though) story about the husband and wife. Awwwkward, huh?!

No way! That would be too much time together. I look forward to seeing him at the end of the day. Besides...I am only 5"6 and 120 lbs. Don't think I would be very beneficial out in the oil fields.

I think that it's possible.
That's how i met my boyfriend, we worked together total 2 years and one year being together and also living together.
Of course it can something create conflict and less conversation back home.
And i remember one colleague knew we where together and started inviting him for drink and would never be leave him alone. That made me upset and also on the wrong person. I did have a big argument with my boyfriend when it should of been with her.
I hope they can work it out.

I never could with the job he has now - he's a SGT and squad leader in the army. I don't do regimented too well and also dont like being told the what where when how and whys of my entire waking day, and he'd be the one telling me on top of that. no thanks. He couldnt work with me in my job either, not hot on computers and math, and I'd end up training him.
When he's out one day I imagine we'll work together in our business and it will turn out fine. We both have different things to contribute and would be hands on in seperate areas. It could be fun.

My wife worked for my business for about six months when she was laid off from a previous job. I enjoyed it and thought it went very well. But a few weeks ago when she was mad at me for something else, she indicated that working for me was "horrible". So I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder!

Heck no!! That is the main reason for me having a job (to get away from the old man for a while) well, and the money. But I could never work with my spouse.....it would literally drive me nuts!!

Well, I witnessed one VERY professional couple, both world-renowned, a psychiatrist and psychologist. They pioneered in OCD/BDD diagnoses (irrelevant exactly how)...
and you'd never know.
My boyfriend had brought me in (we were 21), and they could tell, even though we tried so hard to be discreet!!
I didn't know they were married at all, let alone having arguments.
So, there are VERY FEW couples who can manage, but it can happen!
