Almost all business books will tell you not to mix business with pleasure.
To me, hearing "Don't start a business with your partner" sounds as outdated as "Choose a company with a good pension, and you're set for life."
Complications are bound to arise from all interpersonal relationship dynamics, so why not start a business with someone who knows you inside and out?
For all the aforementioned reasons, starting a business with my husband has actually strengthened our relationship.
Running a business, especially with your partner, is one day at a time, too.
