Let me put it this way:
I would not have any problem or hesitation , flying with my wife (in
fact I and she would loved it, to spend more time together).
As a professional I'll try my best to leave family problems behind.
What I don't know is how the other crew members , or member ,are going
to react.
I have seen couples flying together and you could not say if they were
couples or not .
I have also seen couples flying together and they were bringing their
family problems in the aircraft.
I truly believe that a husband / wife team is a great team to have in
the a/c .
They have proven that they can communicate and manage their stress , so
they can still be together...
Any other thoughts?

Why is the assumption negative? (Am I the only one out there who is happily
married??) Might not a couple fly together BETTER than strangers?
Just a thought
