Yup don't, short answer. I sold 5 restaurants to a couple about 5 years ago and I warned them not to run it together. They divorced a year later. There will always be someone putting in more work and that is how fights start. Keep business and family separate, some do succeed in running a business together but it's not easy. Not worth the pain.

[@Talkinglife]

Set boundaries. Determine who is in charge of what. ... Commit to the business. Periodically check in with your partner. ... Define your roles. Focus on each other's strengths as you define your roles. ... Respect and trust your partner. ... Hold team meetings.

[@RetireWithLess]

My wife and I have worked together for 10 years now. It was hard at first, but you get better at communicating and figuring out when you both need some space.

[@LDT7Y]

And you tend to only hear about the successful ones.

[@samuelewrites7249]

I heard that too! She's putting in the work... He's in MED school... It's her business lol

[@rachelt.7408]

My husband started a Landscaping business in the past year. He always calls it "ours". He seeks my support, ideas, and I help with advertising some of the purchasing decisions as we are still small but growing fast. I like my roles to be small, but still important. He values my part in the company, but I never feel the need to act as the boss.

[@DsDs-nu7nw]

It all depends on the person. There are people who stand by you even when everything falls apart and there are people who blame others (even Thier parents or spouses) for every little mistake but claim all the success when things are going well. Since it's a business , it can become a blockbuster, failure or remain average.... Ask yourself, if your other half will stick with you if everything falls apart or will you stick with him if everything falls apart.... Try to feel it.... Like you are in debt and business isn't making any profit..... See yourself in that state. If both of you can calmly stick together even in that state, then go ahead. But still keep responsibity and accountability.

[@1.5Koreans0.5American]

Hope all the best for this business couple!

Great advice! Know strengths because you know who as more speaking power over certain functions and separate your roles and don't mix them up. When communicating announce what role your speaking as. I'm coming to you as husband or I'm coming to you as a owner, etc.

[@JoeGarofaloII]

It's that time again, I'm on another Dave Ramsey binge and it's great!

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Ya, it can be done. I run a small business smoothly with my wife. We have a clear understand if each other's roles, and the best way to optimize our profit as a group. The hard part is you gotta stay super respectful of each other and never forget that your spouse is always your spouse. Never just a business partner. We are very involved in counseling, and have been working on our relationship for a long time. That is really important. You need great communication. If you don't have a peaceful, and respectful relationship with good communication, you probably shouldn't go into business with your spouse.

[@whereschloevids]

Love this comment. Starting a business now. Will remember your words!

[@FightNewsYT]

What a great discussion. Maybe i'll include this in my VIDS. 💯

[@upendo2]

I can relate 100% with this scenario.

[@katrinaruthministries]

Great video on how to work with your spouse in business!

[@DeionSardines]

Questions on here trying to become more more about relationships rather money. I'm sure Dave and his wife have their fights but I'm guessing not a lot them because Dave is so freaking rich.

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Ya. This is true. When the spouses show they are very capable of handling their roles without interference, I think the relationship becomes more peaceful. That's been my story at least

[@TimeisUp22]

Rich men tend to argue with their wives about spending time together. When you are rich you are busy and don’t really attend to your family.

[@vivianworden]

It helps when you don't expect the other spouse to work for free when they already have a full-time job and do 90% of the household chores

[@nvofamalcontent9296]

Dave should have found out first if this was an MLM. 100% turn of direction if it is.

[@YaneliVerdiLall]

I have a question . If my husband recently purchased a property and open a new business with his son ..we pay together but my name isn’t in the title.. What will happen if my husband passes before me?

[@josephstephens9782]

me and my wife is in the tax planning business. I help USA and she helps Brazilian clients.. what should I do? close one business and focus on one? or merge the two businesses... what does that look like?

[@cheerio3579]

My wife has a business and she does all the work for her business, but when she keeps coming to me for money for her business; when do I have the right to voice my opinion about her business when I do absolutely s#*t!🤔

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

I think Dave would say your wife doesn't have a business. Your wife has a hobby. And hobbies get budgeted by both spouses. Same for my business. I have a business "buffer" or emergency fund. As long as I'm making money my wife doesn't chime in on daily operations. I can do whatever I want as long as bills are paid and we are making money. But if I were to destroy the business money and start tapping into our personal money, my wife and I have an agreement that she is now involved in my business at that point. She will have a say, and keep me accountable, and we will process every decision together until the personal emergency fund is returned and the business is funding itself again

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Sounds like you are an investor and have a right to ask about it right now.

[@bk_deltor9155]

A faucet should not turn in to a sink.

[@sweetfayce18]

🤣 She should make you a partner . I say this because I too have a business and do all the work. The business just happens to funds itself so my husband is off the hook.

[@littleripper312]

She needs to put him in his place. If you can't do that then don't work with family/friends. It's risky for the relationships but if you can't throw your weight around when necessary then you risk the business as well.

[@deanalbertson7203]

Someone needs to be named ceo. It should probably be the wife, since she is doing the work. If it continues to cause bad arguments, the business should be ended.

[@Je.rone_]

I've heard, albeit never experienced, that running a business with someone your in a relationship with (marriage or otherwise just an unmarried couple) can be very difficult for the relationship, but many people have made it work so like misery things it depends i guess

I love Shawn and I never traded on him I'm at his place now so he won't trigger I never cheated on him I'm by his side. He made sure our family ate during bill time and had a beautiful cook out I ate lol my mother always at work.

Is Christy practicing physical distancing?

[@thecatnextdoor12]

She’s sitting there so her clothing/shoes and body shape can be showing.

@@thecatnextdoor12 great body shape though, can't deny that

[@maljones1398]

Male power !

[@antaneiaelliott7350]

Shawn was so nice he did a bathroom makeover in my apartment he cleans my whole apartment up put food in my house from all the abuse they lie and torture me.

[@TheJonOrtiz]

Dave wrong YET AGAIN (when it comes to relationship aspect). The husband is the coach and the wife is the QB. Who gets more say ? He’s the brain , she’s the muscle. Who gets more say ?

[@paxtonspreciouscavaliers8137]

Lots of arguments...ok then.

[@MTobin1000]

I love when Christy laughs at Dave (carefully because he's her boss) but you can tell Christy is like....'No Dave, don't say that!"

[@antaneiaelliott7350]

My family got food that's why I can't get no money lots of food I have to go over there house.

[@thecatnextdoor12]

Don’t listen to Dave for relationship advice. Don’t go into business with your man. A woman will not respect a male who needs her help and the male will resent needing help. Men tend to leave starter wife and find the one they really want whom they wouldn’t dare asking for help.

[@ENCwwe]

He doesn't need her help, its just that she's running the buissiness and he's not. If anything he's the one helping HER with HER buissiness.

[@DeionSardines]

Your right because men ain't nothing, but utilities.

[@antaneiaelliott7350]

I'm in a relationship with Shawn that's it stop talking about old relationship. I love that 49 year old Shawn so he have a young wife 29. I like older men because they put my apartment back in order

Get a job working elsewhere...not that hard lol
