A very lucky pair of my friends are both programmers. One is frontend and the other is backend. Their skills compliment eachother and make a great team. They travel the world doing freelance programming projects and never stay in the same place for more than a couple of months.

It can only work as long as you're either both tabs or both spaces.

I know a few where they compliment each other. A dentist that married a lawyer. The lawyer could always use a dentist and you never know if a malpractice lawsuit ever comes up, haha. Or a pharmaceutical rep that married a health insurance rep. My wife got her degree in phycology, then went back to be a dental hygienist. While the hygiene part has little to do with programming, she helps on my sites (which are geared towards dentistry) and... my teeth are always clean, haha.

I sometimes wish she got into graphic design - it would of allowed me to take on more freelance work I think, but it's never stopped me otherwise, so no big deal.

I think it's important to find someone you can get along with and love. If they can understand what you actually do and the struggle, all the better.

I don't want to put anyone down - but say a rocket engineer married a secretary, that might make for some one sided conversations. It's good to find someone that compliments you and your skill set.

Just don't have this argument ;)

It's not what matters, in fact I could be worried if the relationship would be a competition and also lose dynamics, but I don't know

I have one of my friend that love the same things as me and he love the javascript part a lot, so we complemented :)

got one, but it's not that important to me what she works. it's more important that we understand, trust and love each other.... and she didn't kill me till now.
