The increase in the number of women choosing an entrepreneurial path is playing a role in the growth of husband-wife teams. According to the Census Bureau, from 1997 to 2006, the number of women-owned businesses increased 42.3 percent. Dr. Marshack explains how times have changed, "In the past, men tended to open a business and often a wife is helping, but he doesn't always see her as his partner. Now, women are more entrepreneurial and recognizing that more in themselves than they used to."

Vancouver, Washington (PRWEB) January 24, 2008 -- The increase in the number of women choosing an entrepreneurial path is playing a role in the growth of husband-wife teams. This is according to Kathy Marshack, a psychologist and family-business coach, who was interviewed for the article 'Til Death Do Us Part in the January 2008 issue of Inc. magazine.

Statistics support that conclusion. According to the Census Bureau, from 1997 to 2006, the number of women-owned businesses increased 42.3 percent. In the article Dr. Marshack explains how times have changed, "In the past, men tended to open a business and often a wife is helping, but he doesn't always see her as his partner. Now, women are more entrepreneurial and recognizing that more in themselves than they used to."

Entrepreneurial couples face a whole new set of challenges when it comes to balancing their business with their personal life. Dr. Marshack is the author of Entrepreneurial Couples: Making It Work at Work and at Home, which examines the rewards and challenges of the entrepreneurial lifestyle. More information, including a workbook that couples can use to decide whether they would make a good business team, is available on her website - www.kmarshack.com.
