Marriage + Business = Divorce?
In this brief advisory segment, Speaker A asks Feras whether it is wise for a romantic partner to also be a business partner. Acknowledging that some spouse‑run businesses thrive while others end in divorce, the speaker outlines a set of practical safeguards for entrepreneurs considering a family member as a co‑founder. The core recommendations are: put every agreement in writing; define each person’s responsibilities and expectations; maintain a strict separation between home life and business operations; establish clear guidelines for equity ownership and contribution levels; and treat the partnership legally and contractually as if the partner were a stranger. These steps are presented as essential to prevent personal conflict from spilling over into the business and to protect both the relationship and the venture.
