In business, it can cost you a lot of lost time, money and aggravation. Regardless if you are both working in the business or not, you should always be listening to your spouse. In fact, you should seek your spouse's input in the business. It doesn’t matter how much or little they know about the business, your spouses input is important. It will improve your business and marriage!
