The one thing that works well for us is me building AVS sites & then letting him promote them. It only takes me a couple of hours so I don't really care how much or how little effort he puts into them. Plus the checks go to him so this might be a good way for him to learn the industry (quasi) on his own.
Still...getting to work from home together rocks.

For us, we have a division of labour....I do the words. He builds the sites. I critique them. He fixes.
I run Sin-text and Cozy Campus.
He works for a sponsor. We sit down every morning and plan things, both for the now and for the future. We don't always agree; but, that's healthy because we debate it or piss about it and then we come to some kind of agreement and continue.
Having separate areas of expertise helps because there's no pissing contests....and separate offices is awesome.
It also helps that Tev is very easy going; whereas I'm volatile and impatient. It's a good match. We are very good friends, besides being lovers...which I think is beneficial.....
It seems to me, it would be very difficult for someone in the biz to be with someone who isn't, because of the sheer hours spent online.....
