My best work experience has been when my husband and I worked at the same location.  We didn't work in the same office, but worked just down the hall from each other, but not in offices that worked closely or anything.  Not that we couldn't, but just that we didn't.  Like the other poster, it was nice to be able to go to lunch together, drive to and from work together, understand the type of day each other had, etc.

Only negative that I can recall was if one of us got off early and the other didn't.  But that was so infrequent as to not be a problem.  Since hubby is military and I'm civilian, there wasn't a problem with anyone else that we were married and working in the same locale.  Of course, where we were at the time made it almost impossible for us not to if we were both going to be working.  I do know that we both miss the closeness we had then and it's been quite a change for us since moving to AR and then to AL.

As for ever working for him or with him again... definitely.  I'm looking forward to when he gets out of the military.  He's looking at starting up his own business and I"m looking forward to being able to help him, even if it's only after my regular day job.  Ultimately, we'd both love to be "retired" and working in our own business together.  Since I don't see that happening anytime soon, we'll just do what we can together as much as possible.
