What do couples in consulting and same practice talk about? Does work talk continue 24*7? How do you balance it? It’s becoming too much work talk to handle.

We don't talk a lot about work. I imagine the same as any other couple as it's a big part of life. We do get double the points as a consultant couple and that's nice. She's almost lifetime marriott platinum and I'm hilton diamond so we have that going for us. We also help each other when the other one has had a bad travel day as I know everyone has. We also both understand the Monday to Thursday travel routine and we make every weekend a vacation.
