In terms of relationship, my advice will be the same whether you're starting up or working in BigBoring Inc. It boils down to 3 things: 1. Time: Make time for each other. Schedule it as if it's a big important meeting with an investor if need be. Even better is to have a routine that naturally makes time for you two to be together. Whatever it takes. 2. Talking: Always talk about everything that might be going wrong or right. This is especially true in the early days as you figure what this marriage thing is all about. No relationship I know of broke down because the couple communicated too much. 3. Adapt: What you have now is not what you're going to have in a year's time and certainly not you'll have in 2 years. Your startup might succeed or it might fail. You will have unforseen family obligations come up at the most inopportune time. One of you might lose their job or get ill long term. In short: life will throw you curve balls and you two must deal with them and adapt. This usually where people insert some cliche analogy, but I'll spare you :) Congrats and good luck!
