We aren't married but we've been together for 18 years. She does all the ordering/seps/digitizing. Generally its a very smooth situation.

My wife and I tried working together for about 6 days and almost killed each other.  Decided our marriage was more important.

My wife handles all the ordering, bookkeeping, sorting and customers. I handle everything else, but the artwork. Our full time artist (been with me for over a decade) will be going off in the next year to work with his wife at her graphics business (a whole other story, but a good one). So that will fall on my shoulders too. Been there before, wasn't fun, but I learned from it and won't even attempt to hire the position again. We'll do what we can and streamline.

Fell the pain, we have streamlined this position, scary but is working out for the better... good luck!

We are.  My wife handles the books, answering the phone, and digitizing.  I do all production and screenprinting artwork.

Been married 50 years, 11 years doing screen printing together.  My wife does some of the grunt work, pulling off the auto, loading the manual, stacking and boxing, trimming out embroidery and counting.  She used to clean screens and such but health doesn't allow any more.  She stays away from chemicals.  I do all the rest.  When she's away it helps appreciate the things she does.
