working with friends

Some think we're crazy for working together, others admire how well it works. There may be a few that are envious, but we're here to tell you that you are capable of working with your significant other if you try hard enough! We talk about how we feel about working with friends and family, our work life balance (or lack thereof) and how we are able to manage not going completely insane while working with each other all day every day.
