My wife and I have done this a little bit for our respective websites, and it has really helped us think about our sites a little differently. Another perspective adds a lot! Dollar Frugal,

Great comment! My wife and I have done this a little bit for our respective websites, and it has really helped us think about our sites a little differently. Another perspective adds a lot!

That is a more "traditional" line of thinking. But there is much to be said about ownership and working for yourself! :) Kirk,

My wife was a little unsure about me starting this website because of the time and money involved, but we talked about it, and she was supportive when she realized this was something I wanted to do. Granted, this isn't my full-time job, but it is a business, and it does have expenses and bring in income. Thank you for the guest article. :) Tisha, great article.

My wife has learned to love my entrepreneur spirit and I have learned to always provide a safety net (money in the bank) that she needs to feel safe. The best way to start a business is to find something that you both love. Great advice.

Have your significant other come up with his/her own ideas of best practices and they might think of something you've never conceived for your business. Your relationship will flourish because of it!

I was fortunate when I started my business that I had a few clients to begin with and that my wife was on board and able to work. My parents had the biggest problem. They still make comments that I should think about getting a steady job. While I have days that I miss that steady paycheck, I believe I will be better off in the long run being my own boss. Tisha,
