@Jen - that's an awesome situation! I have a sister as well, and if she lived in the same city as I did, we'd probably be working together too! Elijahs last blog post..No Such Thing As Luck

This is such an inspirational post, thank you so much!

You list is great – I can really identify with your situation, although mine is slightly different, as I don’t work with a partner but with my brother who also happens to be my best friends. A lot of the points you mention also apply to our situation, esp. since we share an apartment and spend almost 24/7 together. It is a fantastic experience to work with someone who shares your visions and values and who is incredibly close to you on a personal level. This shared experience brings with it a closeness that nobody can understand who hasn’t tried it. Of course there are downsides too but for me there is no question that the positives outweigh the negatives.

I will have to keep checking back to see how things are going for the two of you now – am very curious
I wish you all the best and good luck for your personal and professional future together!

Congratulations! You are well on your way to an exciting journey together. It looks like you've done your research on the copreneur lifestyle. My husband, Brett, and I have been "copreneuring" for 5 1/2 years. It has its ups and downs, of course, but is well worth it when we consider the alternative of going to separate places. We also just had our first child. It is great not having to deal with day care. Might I invite you and your readers to check out the organization that we launched last year, the National Copreneur Society. I see that you're in Toronto, so we might have to make our organization INTERNATIONAL! Take care and best of luck! Leila Johnsons last blog post..Happy New Year & Membership Drive!

Absolutely. There's nothing wrong with a little door-opening action - and I agree, there's more avenues than ever for the ambitious, exceptionally attractive couples like the four of us to travel on! Elijahs last blog post..Monday At The Office With Elijah

My wife and I have worked together for years - at times full-time, at present part-time. These days I have a "day job" while she pursues a writing career and I help her after hours. It's definitely become a lot harder since we started a family though - for some reason babies and toddlers don't keep regular office hours! But, the same as you, we find we complement each others' skills well, which is probably what attracted us to each other in the first place.

@WordVixen – I’m sure that Elijah and I will eventually go down different paths as time moves on, but we will always be involved in the what we’ve started together. I plan to have my own blogging network, but design oriented. Non the less, we’re still going to be together all the time . . . supporting each other. Sounds like you and your husband are the same way.

@Normal Joe – Thanks! I think that most of these points are valid in all relationships. We just have to be more conscious of them now.

It will be fun to learn and grow . . . it’ll be even funner (yeah, that’s right, I said “funner”) when I can focus on this full time!

Thanks for your support!
