No, take general warnings as a guide, and add the context of your specific situation.
For example, wingsuit diving is essentially suicidal.

But if you happen to be an extremely talented wingsuit diver, such broad declarations don't mean as much.
Certainly heed advice if you are in no way exception with respect to the matters that influence the issue.
Also, about temperament... I've probably thought about the long term implications of temperament and interaction about starting the business far more than average. So if you shouldn't have gotten married, you sure as hell shouldn't start a company together. If you made a good decision (which sadly isn't too common), you can probably work together really well. Goes back to the main point: context matters over generalizations.
