for outside employees it is a bad deal (Score 1)

i would worry about this situation not for the tension it will cause within the relationship but what will happen if your company grows and you have to hire outside employees. my last two jobs have been for companies run by a husband and wife. both experiences have been completely negative with favoritism being shown being blamed for the husbands mistakes etc. also there is a strange situation where since the husband is ceo/cto/lead tech etc. the wife who handles scheduling etc. feels that i am not competent enough to handle x client or x task even though i have proven myself both with experience/certs (the reason i was hired) and with time at the company handling weird situations. i think it is asking for trouble not for the two of you (the relationships in both of these situations seemed solid) but for outside employees you might hire. just my .002$ YMMV though.
