There may be many circumstances that can lead to couples working in the same workplace. The two of them may intentionally apply for the same company or fate may even bring them together in the same workplace. Any how it may be, there may be many disadvantages when couple work in the same workplace. The disadvantages may include the following among many others disadvantages.



Office romance: there is no doubt that the closeness of the couple among other workers will still be too visible. And there may be tendency of the two still continue their office romance despite the fact that they have had enough from home. Though many have argued against this, but the flesh is always weaker when we see our loved ones.



Similar effects: couple working in the same place may be broke or rich at the same time. The essence of working for both couple is to be supporting each other. Husband may support his wife when she hasn't collected her salary and vice versa. But in a situation where they both work in the same place, if one has not collected salary, definitely, the other will not have collected too.



With this, many still prefer working with their spouses.
 
Well a good thing will also have it's bad sides I think this will be the bad sides of working with a spouse but I still think the positive sides outweigh the negatives. I think spouses working together everywhere there will be this strong bond that would be very hard to break. It doesn't just make sense to me to bring segregation because of business that is being run to help keep the family stronger for a better financial life

But on the flip side it isn't too good as there might always be some distraction that might make the business lacks the seriousness that it's deserved unless the partners are really to work really hard to keep romance from the work place.

Maybe again the spouses might need to stay away from handling money maybe employ one that will be more accountable so that the business will not owe so much because of any reckless spending.
 
Men want to betray their wives with a beautiful secretary which pushes the woman to work as a secretary with her husband to avoid this kind of problem.
 
There are many advantages to working together, but there are also disadvantages. If you can handle the drawbacks, then working together can be the best way to go. The biggest disadvantage is that you will have to work together on a daily basis. You may not want to spend every day with your spouse and having to deal with their moods and temper tantrums can become tiring.

Another disadvantage is that if one person has an idea and the other does not agree with it, then there will be a problem. You may have a better idea of how to make it successful, but this can be hard for someone who is used to doing things in their own way.

Another disadvantage is that you'll have to share all the work and responsibilities that go along with running a business.

Another disadvantage is that if you don't like each other, or if one of you takes advantage of the other, this can cause problems in your relationship.
 
The most obvious disadvantage of working with your spouse is that it can be hard to get along. If you have different ideas on how to do things, it can be difficult to work together, especially if one person is more experienced than the other or has more knowledge about a particular subject. You may also find yourself disagreeing about things like who should do what and how much time should be spent on certain tasks.

Another disadvantage is that you may not always agree on what needs to get done. For example, if you want to go out to dinner but your spouse doesn't feel like cooking, then those plans may fall through. This could lead to arguments over money or scheduling conflicts.

Working with your spouse can also cause extra stress and strain on your relationship as well as your finances. There's always the possibility that something unexpected could happen such as an argument or even divorce if things aren't going well between you two
 
Personally, I won't say that I love or hate the idea of working with my spouse as both have their good and bad sides likewise. Just as the saying goes, every thing that has an advantage will surely have it's disadvantages. But at times the advantages will supersede the disadvantages and vice versa.

In this condition, working with your spouse will mean that you have your family with you. Some people lose focus when they have their family afar off. But once you work in the same place, then it means that you are close and that reduces the tension of distance.

And on the aspect of office romance I will say that it depends on the couple. Any disciplined couple will know that their is a time allocated for every thing and the office is certainly for work and not romance. Regardless, office romance is cool especially if it is done wisely.

Other people hate working with their spouses just like that and some due to their bad habits which they would not love their spouses to notice.

I work with my spouse and while it was once a good thing, i find it has become not so good lately. My husband is the boss and has a tendency to put me last because he knows I will not retaliate. He knows I am going home with him no matter what. I once loved working with him but in this day and age, because of the lack of adequate help, he makes me feel like I am dispensable because he feels everyone else is indispensable. I have come to dislike , almost hate, working with my spouse. I do everything for him but he puts me last.
