I don't think I could work with my wife--no matter if she was the "boss". It is a nice break to go our separate ways each day. It makes us miss each other, and gives us 2 different days to recount as we cook dinner and settle down for the evening. I fear if we worked together work would follow us home and everywhere. And that is no work/life balance! ~ddv Oh man, I NEED a break from my wife during the work week, and it has nothing to do with her professional merit (she will soon out-earn me when she completes her CPA certification).
