B.Andersson & B.Ulvaeus

Wikipedia: One of them played the keyboard and eventually started writing original songs for his band, many of which became local hits at the second half of the 60s. The other one started writing English-language songs for his group, and even had a brief solo career alongside. In June 1966 they decided to write a song together. The manager of one of the groups saw potential in the collaboration and encouraged them to write more. As their respective bands began to break up during 1969, they teamed up and recorded their first album together in 1970.

They linked up with their female future bandmates in 1969. An attempt at combining their talents occurred in April 1970 when the two couples went on holiday together. They married their bandmates. The world started to know them as ABBA.

Sometimes the journey alone does not satisfy the expectations of an entrepreneur. She/He might feel the need of a partner next to her/him to overcome the difficulties of the business life. If you study the history of successful companies and learn about their birth you will most probably encounter partners, usually behind the stage, who had helped the entrepreneur under the lights to realize whatever they have achieved.

To marry your partner then? I am sure you know a couple of such incidences. To have your partner for life also as your business partner might not work out that easily. It did not work out for the two ABBA couples. They were divorced. But it is up to you. ☺
