For someone that wants to be a good business owner, you don't have to mix love with business. When you are on love with someone, starting business with such a person may not work out, except the two of you, have the same business foresight, which is always rare.

It can be awesome but also kinda tricky. The good part is you already trust each other and probably vibe well, which helps when making decisions. The tricky part is that business stress can spill over into your relationship. The key is being super clear about roles, expectations, and what happens if things go south. Contracts and honest talks aren't sexy but are a lifesaver. If you both can separate business stuff from personal stuff, it might actually bring you closer.
