Couples in the workplace (e.g. coworkers) is one thing, but starting a business together and then getting together is a whole other animal.
That said, there are plenty of couples who end up starting businesses together after they've been together for years, so there is no articular reason it couldn't work out.
A lot will likely depend on how quickly they can get Union Robotics going, since a lot of stress related to a (possibly failing) business usually doesn't do much good to the relationship.
Tova:
Of course, there is no reason it couldn't work out, and we all hope it will.
The two difficulties will be:
* They will always be in each others' pockets, both living and working together, which can cause tensions to build without relief. I happen to believe that it's important for people in a relationship to have their own space that they can retreat to if they need it. Thankfully, Bubbles has the unicorn grove. Not sure about Faye.
* The stakes of the relationship are raised. The complications will be that much greater if it happens not to work out.Yes, stress from the business can cause strain to a relationship, but that would be the case even if they were involved in separate businesses.

Ah yes, but if both are employed at different places, the chances of work-related stress happening simultaneously to both are greatly reduced, which definitely makes a difference.
Y:
That last retort by Bubbles:
