Why did you start your marriage blog?

Five years ago my husband and I opened our own business and started working together. We really enjoy working together and have learned many things along the way on how to manage our work/life relationship. We started the blog to provide resources to other couples who want to or already work together. We try to blog 3-5 times per week.

What do you cover in your marriage blog?

We cover topics relevant to couples who work together, so we generally cover topics relevant to owning your own business and relationship articles along with the intersection of the two. Some past topics have included:

* Recognizing your spouse's accomplishments at the office

* Making time for family with the demand of running your own business

* 11 Questions to consider before you quit your day job

* Raising Entrepreneurial Kids

* Sharing your personal life with clients

* Maternity leave as a female entrepreneur

* How to Plan when the profits need to support your home and your business.

* Defining Your Roles at Home and at your business

* How A Great Business and a Great Marriage Work for Success

Advice

  • My advice to someone who wants to start a blog about marriage would be to be authentic. I think people want to know who you really are, what your marriage is really like (the good and the bad) and encourage participation among your community. When you have a blog it is easy to think you are the only expert, but readers of blogs have a lot of good input.
