I am fortuate.  I have my own niche market manufacturing company (# on
employees: me, part time) that is quickly growing.  Hope to quit my "normal" job
sometime early next year and go full time.  My fiance works already as an
electronic assembler.  We already have it worked out that when I get busy enough
to hire someone, she will quit her job and we will do the business together as
husband and wife.  I know what some of you are already going to say, as much as
you love your wife you wouldn't want to spend all day with her.  Luckily my
engineering lab/office is seperate than the production benchs.  Can easily
regulate the time we spend (or don't spend) around each other.  My last
relationship failed cause she didn't WANT to work on things together but she was
jeleous cause I was doing things without her.  A no-win situation.

Summery:
   1) Have a very understanding woman, or
   2) Have a woman willing to help/share, or
   3) Make sure your business lawyer handles divorces also.
