Mostly As: Give it a go. You love work and your partner and have a sufficiently resilient relationship to work #together. But don’t take that-or each other-for granted.
Mostly Bs: Businesses, like marriages, can be fragile and statistics show that both have high failure rates. Work on both-but not together.
Mostly Cs: Forget it. You love your independence too much to combine business and marriage. Enjoy your #business and your partner and be satisfied that they can support each other without being intertwined.
