I Now Pronounce You... Running a business with your spouse has its share of hurdles, but the finish line can be worth the effort.

When you're married business partners, running a company can be doubly difficult, but it can also be rewarding. Find your own niche within the business, says Francie Dalton, a communications management and behavioral sciences expert who's worked with several Fortune 500 firms.

Instead of working in the office together day after day, Dalton suggests working in two different places or in separate departments. Maybe one can go on sales calls and the other can stay and work the phones and computer. "Each needs his or her own breathing space," she says.
