Couples who successfully work together can reap wonderful rewards - but for many, it's also fraught with danger.
Psychologist Dr Bob Montgomery says 92 per cent of family businesses report levels of tension high enough to disrupt the running of the business.
This is commonly the result of competing goals and priorities, differing roles and expectations and blurred relationship expectations.
He says the question is not whether couples in business together will face special problems - but how they face them.
Dr Montgomery tells Jill Aickin that effective problem solving is based on just one strategy - good, clear, prompt communication with your partner.
