Cupid’s Advice:
There are a lot of factors to consider before you start working with your partner, but it can be well worth it in the long run! Cupid has a few:
1. Make date nights a priority: Will you be able to maintain date nights if you both work together? It’s a proven fact: couples who date stay together. In order to do that, you need to put aside your professional lives at home and vice versa. If neither one of you will be able to do this, working with your partner might not be a good idea.

2. Know each other’s work styles: Are you a night owl while they’re an early morning bird? It’s best to know how you both prefer to work before you start working with your partner so you don’t get annoyed with each other. Understanding each other can ward off a big fight later.

3. Give each other space: If you’re going to work with your partner, there will be times that you both need space. Consider giving each other a separate office and taking separate breaks at work will help things from getting tense at home and at the workplace. Being with each other 24/7 will drive both of you batty otherwise.
