I would say that it is not good for husband and wife to be in the same profession. Let us take an example of IT people. If both are in the same category & one got promoted to higher level there will be a possibility of increased professional jealousy which could invade into their personal life & destroy it. But there are couples who could see professional and personal life differently; even then also the risk factor is high that one should bend down to the ground for running the family less problematic
You might have noticed that this type of relationship is very common among film industry but life is very less. Many couples are on the brim of divorce due to this especially if their wife is going up in the ladder, due to fierce competition relationship would get worse & they get separated after few months.
I wonder people often falls in love with other from the same field. During dating also they find it very funny & cool as they can spend whole time together but when it comes to marriage one find it extreme difficult to adjust with the other why? Is it because one tries to outpace the other in professional & personal life??

i think we can't generalize it to all couples, in my pinion everything depends on people themselves. i faced so many couples who they were both physicians.. they can know each others more than other people cause of common troubles in job... SO it depends...
@Cyrill
You really have a point there - I agree with you. If the couple work in the same company, the wife or husband can feel so jealous when her husband or his wife has a good relationship with another woman or another man. That can be a problem.
Thanks for your wise reply :)
@ Estanis - There is something everyone has to learn from you. You see people are on the verge of divorce for ridiculous things seems like they never heard the word compromise ever in their life. Despite of all your problems you are still able to manage your personal & professional life, hats off to you my friend.
I have seen many one who has supported this statement but I think profession matters. There are many professions where fierce competition happens like lawyers what if husband and wife comes face to face? Similarly IT jobs where one become the manager and the other have to report & situation become worse if females are one step above the men,surely their ego hurts.
I think it is good.
If they have the same job or similar jobs, they can have at least a stable common topic——their job. They can grow together, they can help each other, they can understand each other's efforts...
However, I don't care the job category that my partner has, and better not the same, giggling~ ;-)
I know that it can cause problems even with job availability. If my wife and I are in the same profession and looking for jobs in a different location, we need to find two jobs. For example with English teaching, there would need to be two teaching positions or else one that paid so well a second one was not immediately necessary.
In Academia when couples are in the same field, the husband or wife gets a job in the University and the other will have to look for something after arriving. I have seen it happen many times and sometimes it is a problem, but other times it works out well.
Good question!
Both my wife and I work in the same hospital, and we're used to it. I wonder how it would feel if my wife didn't work in hospital.
I've talked about this topic lot of times with people near to me. My wife and I run the same company and, although we separate our functions, the main problem is that we spend most part of the day together, so we have to deal with it very carefully 'cos we have had really big marital problems.
Sugestions are wellcome :D
