When husbands and wives collide!

Being able to work from home can both be a blessing, and a curse! I am fortunate enought that my husband and I can work together, on our businesses.  But sometimes, it can be so tough to separate work times form marriage times.  If you and your partner are in this together, I would love to hear your tips or advice on how to wrok together and stay married!

By the way, our marriage is fine, but sometimes we want to strangle each other! lol

I have told my husband many times that I love him but don't want to work with him.  Sorry I have no useful tips.  Good Luck!!!

Just continue wanting to strangle each other sometimes. It's human. And I know you don't mean "physically strangle". My wife and I have ALWAYS been together. We have never worked apart. She gets frustrated with me a lot more than I get frustrated with her because I'm the visionary and she's gravity that keeps me planted. If you didn't get into it from time to time there would be something wrong. What do we do? We have a huge house! I do my thing and she does hers. Sometimes she'll say, "I need some attention" and sometimes she'll say "I just want to do YouTube" ... that means she wants some quiet time. I don't like crunchy food and she does, she doesn't like boxing, I do. Just always remember you are two individuals with different needs and desires. Sometimes you need to go your separate ways. Our rule? Never NEVER sleep apart because of anger or frustration. Snoring? Yes.

My husband and I both work from home.  My office is upstairs and his office is downstairs... he claims I talk and yell on the phone too loud...  he is not in real estate as he's an engineer, but I have no idea how things would work if we were in business together.

My husband has always worked odd hours which means we have always been toghether a lot!!  He got his real estate license a few year ago and now helps me with real estate also during all that time he has off!  I guess my advice would be to be sure and have time to do things together out of of the office!  It seems I have to sometimes make time for that.
