    My wife and I own our business, and I work with my wife, and
    regardless what my expertise, my experience, my training, and my
    skill level, I doubt I could reason, argue, negotiate with my wife to
    entertain the concept that I should be paid more, equal work or not.
    When we incorporated, I told her that I wanted her to be the
    president, I would be V.P. When my wife is at the business, she is
    the boss, when she is not at the business, I think I am the boss. For
    me to believe otherwise would be a constantly challenged illusion.
