Marrying your coworker
Do you think marrying someone who works in the same place as you Is a good or bad experience? What is its perks and its drawbacks?
Is anyone here married to a spouse who shares the same work place?

Take for an instance your spouse hada bad day at work, it is easier for the other spouse to reason and comfort the other. This will improve the communication in their relationship hence a better marriage.
That is a very important point, understanding the similar struggles will make a difference

That being said, my husband and I met working at a deli when I was a sophomore in college and he was in his 5th of 6th sophomore year...haha

Speaking about my own experience but with no intention to be prejudiced against people who had it differently (and I admire those who were still able to strike a balance), being in the same profession and workplace as my husband's had been something I tried to change.Doaa Wael wrote: ↑17 Oct 2017, 15:16 In the book, Yaser and Mariam were both surgeons in the same hospital who fell in love and got married

Having the same inclinations and priorities may have made me understand my husband more, but there really are drawbacks. Being compared to my very able husband more often than not is one. More seriously speaking (though not meaning that my previous reason totally isn't true, too), the most important reason is that we both had not much time but would like to provide the best for our kids. We still felt thankful for the (what may be considered as relatively-successful) career we used to have then, but I preferred and thus sought out to make things different and hoped for the better. Things improved a bit later on and we could have made it work somehow still, but we both grabbed the opportunity to migrate that we applied and waited on for more than two years prior, resigned from our previous work, and went into totally different fields that we could go to...all for our children's sake.
There's always hope.
