The question you were asked about working together must be a bit hard to answer, but I wanted to share, that I grew up in a home/business, literally the business was ran out of my parents home.
My Dad was working with the clients directly and my Mom was the voice on the other end of the phone for 30 years.
Watching my parents and living in our family home, you are right, the business never seemed to shut off totally. It can’t! And in my experience, didn’t have too! They treated each other the same, at home and at work, with no on off button. They weren’t talking business 24-7 and they didn’t hug 24-7, they just loved each-other and lived the dream!
It’s both your dream and both your investment, both your direction to work and serve, so by just ‘living through’ it all and making a decision to say ’This is Our Dream, Our Choice and Our direction for Our family’. It doesn’t look like the people who work 9-5 pm. But those other lifestyles, still require (for a great marriage) Kindness, Respect, Selflessness toward each-other, Honesty and Gentleness between each other every moment of the day, not just when you get home for dinner, it has to be genuinely lived out as a part of interacting with the most important person in your life (your beloved spouse).
Their marriage vows to love, honor and cherish can’t turn off during the work day, they are forever. My parents still hugged in front of us and even employees, when the need arose! and they always valued their marriage above the business. They kept in mind that the business was to feed the family, prepare for the future of the family, but didn’t hold the power or value that their marriage did. Their marriage and loving, respectful affection for each other was more important than money or ‘things’.
And having said all that, I grew up lacking nothing, and have since enjoyed 30 years of marriage with my husband.
You two are a beautiful young couple and seem so genuine and down to earth, so take this for what it is, just a note from someone who might understand.
May God richly bless you all in your marriage and your life together!
Most Sincerely,
Raven
