I'm not sure I believe it until I see a successful exit. Did the companies succeed? Did the relationship succeed? (The latter is a tough one to measure since marriage isn't for everyone)

These aren't meant to be snarky - Please share if you have more info.

Our company is still a work in process, but we've got paying customers and 5 on 5 as average review of the product (http://apps.shopify.com/fanchimp), plus two seed rounds of funding.

Sentimentally we've been together for 7 years, working as co-founders for about 5 now. We're happy and we're focused long term.

I hope to have replied to your doubts. ;)

Great on both counts!

Thanks for the comment, yes we're still working on the startup and you're right, there aren't any big success with two co-founder in a relation. Although my friends at AgentPiggy and http://www.gym-pact.com/ are going pretty well.

Kevin and Julia Hartz are the two main founders at Eventbrite, currently valued at $700m and looking towards an IPO. There's an article where Julia explains how they make it work here: http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-marry-your-cofounder-a... .

Thanks
