if you were married, would it be ok for you to work in the same company as your other half?

I don't see that there would be any real problems, lets face it we all wrk so many long hours at our jobs and they do they that a large amount of us actually meet our wife/husband in a work based situation. As longs they leave there private life at home, I can't see that it matters.

My girlfriend and I used to be couriers. It was okay becuase we both drove different vehicles most of the time and would often meet and swap deliveries to make life easier. Working in the same workplace, say office, factory would probably be a different matter but in a strong relationship it should not matter.

I know a few couple who have done that, and it seemed to work alright for them. They always kept their private business at home, though, which is how it should be.

I am eager to see her but i choose to not work wiht her in the same company or in the same building.You know business is business.I will be distracted by my wife,also the work may destory our good relationship.So i prefer to see her after the work.

I believe there is nothing wrong with working in the same company with your spouse as long as you are not going to compromise your professional responsibilities with that of your personal attachments.

I think it is not OK for me.I do not willing to work in the same company with my husband.If that,when we are working,sometimes one mybe makes wrong decision to aviod another's hurt .when we go home,sometimes we will continue the arguement about work,at result we take the unhappy between the work back to home.I think it is not good eaith for work or family.

true, I have worked with my wife before and it was really difficult. especially when we were working on a cruise ship and we didn't really have anywhere to go to cool off.
