5 Tips For Working With Your Spouse

Working with your spouse might seem difficult but experts says that it’s actually possible. Here are five tips to survive working with your spouse or family members.

by Atika Lim  /   April 1, 2016

Working together with your spouse or family members might sound like a lot of fun but, as Victoria Beckham and David Beckham prove, it might not always be easy.

When David quietly resigned from his wife’s Victoria Beckham, Ltd. company, tabloids around the world started circulating that the couple have hit a rough patch and a divorce seems imminent.

While we won’t know the real reasons David resigned, it’s an unfortunate reality that when a couple decides to work together, rumours about them will swirl and it’s important that they know how to deal with them before they actually cause a rift in the relationship.

Here are five ways you can work peacefully with your other half and family members:

Understand What You're Getting Into

Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone are perhaps the best example of this. The acting, producing and writing duo have worked on plenty of hilarious films together including Bridesmaids and Tammy. The couple also have two young daughters but manage to make things work.

“We got hit with the same lucky stick. From the very first time we spoke, we were on the same page. We love each other, respect each other and try not to sweat the small stuff. And we really make each other laugh,” Ben told Huffington Post.

As with every relationship, trust is important.

Jay-Z and Beyonce are music royalties but they’ve had their fair share of problems.

Back in 2008, rumours had it that the couple had called it quits after Jay-Z was seen spending a lot of time with his then protege, Rihanna. Instead of speaking out about it though, Beyonce stuck by her husband and the couple pulled through the difficult time. Now, the pair are even stronger than ever and continue to work together. Their last venture being music streaming service, TIDAL.

The Kardashian sisters have shows, mobile apps and a chain of retail stores together and while they might have their little dramas now and again, it’s no doubting that the trio work well together.

That’s because they choose not to take every argument personally. Instead of getting upset when Kim told her she shouldn’t use her pregnancy as an excuse for her mobile app’s delay, elder sister, Kourtney, took it in her stride as used it as feedback to work even harder.

Bring Out The Best In Each Other

Singer Alicia Keys and producer husband, Swizz Beatz are a force unlike any other.

We reckon that because they’ve been in a relationship for so long and understand each other, the two are able to bring out the best in each other in terms work ethics and creative flow.

Find Ways To Maintain Individuality

They may have worked on many movies together but Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow have their own individual projects too. Leslie loves working with disadvantaged youths on non-profit organisation 826LA while Judd is heavily involved with the UCLA Rape Treatment Center to raise awareness of sexually abused children and their families.

In some way, maintaining some form of individuality allows both individuals to grow and understand themselves even better. This helps with communication between each other too!
