Do you work with your spouse?

mkae you wonder why you work with your partner sometimes. i've worked with mine for most of our relationship. there's been good times a bad, when thing aren't going right. we work in the agriculture, i try to keep it more professional than the fact we're together.

My husband and I work around the house together, cleaning, cooking, yard wrok, that sort of thing, but when it comes to working together outside of the home, no we do not. He is an industrial roofer, I am an independant housekeeper. We have talked about what would happen if we were to work together, and have both decided that we would prefer not to. It isn't that we wouldn't wprk well together, it is simply that we prefer to have our work time apart from one another.

We don't work so well together at all. Hubby is the one that knows how it should and will be done in the yard. I do the inside, he does the outside. I guess whatever works but you're so lucky to have a working relationship. Happy New Year my friend.

hello rocketj1, My wife and I used to work together with the same company. She was in a production line and I was his support. I met her there, fall in-love and got married. We're blessed with three children. Since my in-laws were getting older, my wife decided to resigned so my father-in-law can stay with my mother-in-law. He was with us for ten years. He took care of our children and a lot more. She was able to worked for 14 years. Now, she is a stay home mom.

I met my husband whle working at the same company that he worked for. Since then, we have not worked together although we could easily work side by side without stress. He works out of town now and is only home once a month so the thought of working with him is very appealing because I would be able to spend more time with him.

My hubby and I haven't worked together in an office... But I guess it would be great to work together. I just hope that someday we'll have our own business so we could blend in more with each other...

What a relevant question! My husband's conviction is that it is very difficult for any couple to work together, because there are likely to be ego clashes. Well, to your question, there was a time when he used to go on external audits,--and was on anindependent practice.[he is a chartered accountant and I am a post graduate in English]; we do not share the same subject though I developed a lot of interest in the stock market and have done some independent investing [of course with his conceptual guidance and my practical applications and other interactions with external forces]and have also been succssful at it.Though I am broadly docile I do have an independent thinking and would express opinion , in the course of a discussion; so much for the side story, let me go to the main plot--] and he was not in favour of taking me to his work spot though I am a qualified person and he could have got some better audits if he had taken a person in a clerical level-additional staff member for his firm..Probably, aftre interacting with me earlier in the stock market area he has come to the conclusion that it would be very difficult to expect me to work along with him. I tried convincing him that a I would abide by his instructions and would do small jobs for him as an assistant but he flatly refused and said that it would take all his time to make me follow his thought process and so there is the answer to your topic. Hope you could make sense of my main plot and subplot.

It's nice that you have a volunteer job and work with your husband. At least you can see him more often:) I don't work in the place with my husband. Actually we have totally different work. I love China

Nope. In fact I don't even have a spouse. I've never had a spouse. I worked with my boyfriend once. He quit 4 months after we started dating. It was awkward because he stopped showing up for work. He was a big loser.

you are lucky to have a guy u get along w/so well. heck, u are just lucky to have a guy. lol

My husband and I only actually worked together once in our lives. We worked well together, but we found that it was just entirely too much time in each other's company. There was a point where I did some computer work for him when he worked at another company. that worked out better becaus ewe didn't see each other as often. I think we are both accustomed to being in charge of a situation, so it makes it difficult for us to work just the two of us on any project for long.

yes i help mydad when they needs me when gone out i help him in there business i can manage his all accounts payments and orders so that they can relax some time

Great, you should be able to do everything with your husband cos you share both your lives together for life. I enjoy every moment with my wife however coming to work, it will be good to have her helping me but not working in the same company.Most of the time, situation doesnt allow, sensitive issue, complication, difficult position and politics in the same office sometimes can be stirred up by other people. So helping out , unpaid , will be ideal, not in sme office.

My wife and i were in the same company,but in diferent department.I think it is good,of courese our co-worker find it that they are supprised.Athough we are together,but i just saw my wife almost one times.After work i drive she to go home,we donot talk about the work. I think it is great.

I go to work once a week with my husband. I help with paperwork and stuff so he can get out of the office sooner on Sunday. I don't get paid for it either and find it to be some quality time spent together. But if it were an everyday occurrence I don't think we could do it.

A bit mixed in some ways as both of us wear two hats when it comes to working. My partner has a part time/casual job which means she works some set nights and may work other nights if she is needed and is available to work etc. It is for a few nights a fortnight working at the local roadhouse and she has just started that fairly recently because the owners offered her the job and allowed her to choose the hours and nights she works. I am an interstate truck driver and away from home for several nights a week, depending on where I am taking the load to and where I am back loading from and to. So there is no common ground there or any way that we could work together in either of those particular jobs we have. The other one is that we have a small organic farmlet and we do work that together. There are some things that I do because I am quicker and better than my partner is at those particular jobs and there are the things that she does so much better than I do. Also some things that we do together and that is things like weeding, picking, cleaning and packing the fruit and vegetables. Both of us can do everything on the farm but sometimes we are pressed for time so we go on and do what we do best but when we have enough time, then for example I will do some of the things that my partner normally does and vice versa. That is just so that if anything happens when one of cannot be here, then the other person can still get the essential work done. In the home we both help out in most things. Generally I will cut up the fruit and vegetables for dehydrating as well as what we use for making the jams, sauces and preserves. However when it comes to actually making those things we will always do it together, unless some kind soul volunteers to help get it done.

he helps me a lot in my small business lifting and moving things in and out during busy time, for example he has a full time job he is better in talking than writing I am the other way around so if I need to say something I used to talk to him first so I know how to say it right. if he needs to write something he would ask me first LOL it's funny sometimes because we don't necesarily think the same and then we would have to get to the same page first

My husband and I work in the same building but not the same job. He works as a custodian worker and I am a after school program aide. Another nice thing is for both of us it doesn't even take us five minutes to get to work. We really like it that we work in the same place. So he and I are pretty happy about this.

[i]Hi rocketj, I have tried to accompany my husband at work to do some volunteer job but I can't do it....They are more on IT, automotive which is very far from my field and interest....SO, I decided to quit..LOL! Hubby and I enjoyed doing gardening, roaming around the place, sightseeing, fishing and movies but there are things also that we can't do together...Like I love playing badminton and love to shop! LOL![/i]

I used to work with my hubby. We met while working at Pizza Hut together. I quit but he stayed and eventually became manager. After awhile I decided to go back part time but to a different store obviously. But there was a couple nights he really needed the help, so I'd go to his store to help out as a paid employee. We did work well together, because we both have the same work ethic.
