How do you feel about relationships between co workers?

What are everyones views on relationships between co workers? Reason i ask it that my partner and i both work in the same place and we met through the company. A lot of people frowned upon this as they felt it was violating the business/pleasure moral. I must say that we are both very professional in the workplace and work is work and home is home, we tend to separate the two. Personally i have no problem with workplace relationships as long as work and home can be differentiated and people dont bring their home problems into the workplace and can remain professional.

As long as they as they can keep their hands to theirselves while at work. I don't care to know who's cheating on who and so forth. I personally don't involve myself with coworkers more than just friendship. Too many fish in the sea!

Everyone has their personal opinion about this situation, but I think it would be hard, if not impossible to distance the two. How can you get involved with some one deeply, you are together but once in the working environment, be able to pull apart from each other and get to work? Not human beings, Love and money what a odd mix.

I generally don't agree with co-worker relationships, because in my experience it causes a lot of problems with preferential treatment, and stuff like that. However, it depends on the positions of the two partners, and how they conduct themselves during work hours. As long as you and your partner are professional and your personal lives don't interfere with work, than I see nothing wrong with it.
