Spousal Support: Couples in Business Together
 

If you like what you do, it feels like you hardly work a day in your life. Add to that the fact that if you have a spouse whom you love, every day feels pretty good anyway. The ideal is to marry those two concepts, to find work doing something you enjoy and to share that professional pursuit with your most loved one.

 

That’s why Power Business Couples are fascinating. They have achieved the most desirable achievement: To wed the bliss of matrimony with the success of entrepreneurialism. It’s greatly American.

 

Here are some of the currently more notable Power Business Couples in the USA, the lucky ones (twos?):

There are articles aplenty across the web about how entrepreneurial couples can make it both as devotees to their businesses and to each other, but they essentially come down to many of the same ideas: Take time for each other, away from the business, and keep a proper perspective on who your spouse is and why she or he means so much to you - business or no.
