As an entrepreneur planning a wedding I enjoyed reading the post . I’ve found my fiance to be one of if not the most important stakeholders in my startup (a totally different scenario from my past venture done while single). It keeps me grounded and she gives me plenty of extra motivation to succeed.

Napoleon Hill’s book think and grow rich is said to have inspired more millionaires than any other book and many millionaires attribute a lot to having read the book. One of the interesting quotes from the books that I never see mentioned that I found interesting at the time of reading (even though the books concepts have been adopted by many new authors) is written around page 182:
“The men who have accumulated great fortunes and achieved outstanding recognition in literature, art, industry, architecture, and the professions, were motivated by the influence of a woman.”
Napoleon Hill also goes into detail why transmuting sexual forces gives people the potential to ‘become gifted with a super power of action’. I’m surprised there isn’t a book that has exploited the wording in the book – since the ‘secret’ has been a commercially lucrative subject and most of it is based on this book. No mention is made of those passages in the book, probably because the word ‘sexual’.

Having married a month ago I would say I’ve become a better, more capable entrepreneur. Since forming a relationship I’ve grown in ways that have definitely boosted my business.
I suspect it varies greatly per person and the partner involved (has to be a good relationship and based on divorce rates, most are not) but I’d say being married can a heck of an advantage as an entrepreneur.

Marty, Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.

Boyd, I agree with your point about learning during marriage. In fact some data shows that people are more likely to divorce on their 2nd and 3rd marriages than their 1st. Perhaps this suggests that “learning to learn” is most critical, and needs to happen before you’re able to obtain the other skills?
