Architects juggling marriage and business often face intense pressures, from blurred work-life boundaries to conflicts that spill from office to home. These challenges can strain even the strongest relationships, adding stress to both personal and professional lives.

They discuss common challenges faced by couples in business together, such as finding boundaries, defining roles, and building mutual respect. And for those seeking support, they reveal strategies to make your relationship and practice thrive.
