What if you and your spouse work at the same place?

it is really nice if both of you are working in the same workplace cause there are so many advantages... like you can see each other more often... you will know your day to day activities... you save on gas cause you can travel from home to office together... you can also save on meals cause you can prepare one and eat at the same time... but you should keep whatever indifferences or misunderstanding you may face and confine them in your own home... if you can do that then working in the same workplace is much better for both of you...

I don't think it is a good idea to work with your spouse at the same place. It is obvious that spending all of your time together isn't healthy, if one works with his/her spouse all the time, then he/she will feel smothered by the constant explaining of their actions or decisions at the workplace sooner or later. As far as I know, there is a comforting feeling to having a place where you can forget about things at home. Many people, especially men, use the work place to escape from their daily family lives. Working is just a part of oue life, as well as family. It's not healthy to take your married life to work completely.

Many years ago my Ex Husband (he was still my Husband then) worked in the same office as me and no it did not work out There where several reasons this I suppose if your Marriage is very secure then yes it could work but I know it did not work for me

i've basically worked with my partner, since the start of our relationship. not full time, but helping do things round the farm. his parents got out of milking earlier this yr cause of the drought and it was not looking good for feed when they made the big decision. but the last 6 months of so of milking i was there for both milking each day, my partner got very lazy and still is. so i had my work then i had to go over and help him, it puts a strain on things. but it can depend on the relationship you have, i tried to keep it more professional and no stuffing arund while working.

I think it really depends on the person. I worked with my husband and when the marriage started to fall apart I couldn't stand to see him at work. I could keep our personal life out of it but he couldn't. I think it really is setting bountries on what you can and can't talk about at work. Some people joke around about their spouses, but I think that isn't right if you work with them. Saying, you need to keep your private life private and work at work. It takes a balance, but as long as both people respect the boundries it can work.

I don't see anything wrong with that. And I am sure that work was been the reason why you met your partner. Yes sometimes there will be a conflict of ideas, but never let that affect your personal life and family. What happens inside the working place must be left there. I also know somebody who works in the same offcie / division. And they are not letting their work get in to their marriage. That is no big deal. It can also bring a better and productive result for your goal is almost the same-- to have your work done great and on time!

I believe that if your spouse works with you and you have a great family life it can be great to be able to work with your wife/husband. My spouse work together and have for years it is a great situation. We do outside work and carpenter work together. We have a great marriage and can't stand to be away from the other for more then a few hours. We get along quite well all the time. We have our disagreements but they are on minor things and we work it out together. We don't scream and fight with each other we have rather a strange relationship. We share in all the chores whether doing the dishes or mowing the lawn. Thank God we have each other to depend on. In any job you have to give your all if you want to make a good living bosses look at how each person works, that is how you earn raises. So if you got a good job do your best and let your spouse do his/her best. Don't hang around and keep your spouse from doing their job. A job is no place for two lovers to have fights or loving moments, that is for when you are at home without the public to see. Have a great day! Be happy!
