With the holiday season upon us, we?re pressed to socialize with our coworkers and spend time with family all at once.

The folks on this list have found an easy solution to that time crunch?all year round. Their cofounders are their spouses.

It?s a daring choice to launch a company with your true love. If things go wrong, your jobs and your marriage are both at stake.

On the other hand, marrying your cofounder has advantages, too. Running a company is an all-consuming thing. Why not share that with your beloved?
