The number of women starting and owning their own business has been consistently growing for a number of years. So it's not surprising that more women are asking the question: Should I hire my husband? The NY Times has an article offering several wife/husband teams. The article even addresses the concern of wives making their husbands feel emasculated in the workplace. One wife in the article believes that men measure themselves in the amount of money they make compared to women. So for and her husband, one year he makes more money and then the next year they switch it and she makes more money.

Would you ever own a business with your spouse? Men, would you be okay working for your wife and not being in charge?

I have co-owned several businesses with my husband and he now works for me in one I started. There are ways to make it work and when it does it is a great business model.; 1:23 PM
