But I have to wonder if "density" is the right term. After all, I think of a submarine as being quite dense (and having great mass as well), but because it is filled with air, it can float. Perhaps I am just thinking of "density" in the wrong way.

I'm sorry, but you are. If the object is full of air (be it lungs or a submarine) it's less dense. That's why a ship floats, because its overall density is less than the water it's floating on. The high density of the hull is counteracted because the total volume of the ship is mostly full of air. A submarine dives by pumping sea water into ballast tanks to increase its overall density to the point where it sinks in the water, and rises back to the surface by pumping the water out again.*
There's no way around it, if Momo sinks when a human of the same volume would float, it has to be because she has extra mass raising her density above the point where she ceases to be buoyant. Physics demands it.
*for perfect clarity, a submarine can actually dive and rise through the water by angling the hydroplanes so that the forward movement also pushes it down or up, in the same way a plane changes altitude, but sustaining depth, especially when the sub isn't moving that fast (creeping along at slow speed to keep quiet is a submarine thing) is best achieved by manipulating the level of seawater in the ballast tanks.
To turn this back to relevance, in Bubble's case her mass can't be significantly higher than Faye. In the last panel of the current comic, she's currently on top and Faye isn't being crushed. :-P

"Will being lovers interfere with being business partners?"
They don't need the health talk or the baby-proofing talk.

How would it?

As just one example- when they had their moment of epiphany, they were alone in the shop. This will not always be the case. They might want to talk about what level of PDA they each are comfortable with.
And that's assuming everything's going swimmingly. All relationships have ups and downs. They need to be ready to work together even after a row. Which I'm sure they can do, it's just worth thinking about ways to make that more manageable, if possible.
Also, like I said before- Toto.

The latest comic gave me an idea for the best avatar image ever. I think I'll use it on other forums and social media as well.

Suddenly, Faye discovers an unpleasant allergy to some of the materials that make up Bubbles dermal layer. :-D

There's the short term honeymoon period where they're distracted and slowing down the work. For example, they closed early today. Also too much grabby grabby kissy kissy might bother customers.
Beyond that, I can't think of anything. They're the sole proprietors, and equal partners, so there's no power imbalance, and no other employees to worry about favoritism. The occasional spat might interfere with the work, but not really more than it would have before.
