I didn't read the original message about husband & wife teams, but consider this: What if Ra Byn and Tara actually like each other and would cooperate, and the more experienced would help the lesser-experienced, and even save her from situations where his expertise could do so (I think those are the gender roles here)? Tara could learn action work, which any competent person could do, and together they could do more than two people separately. It would take humility and flexibility. I know that's a funny concept of marriage, but it just could work. I know married couples who thrive on doing things together without competing, and I know others who do better by giving each other more space. Ra Byn and Tara could look at the patterns already present in their relationship and have some idea of how piano togetherness would go. Two separate, competing businesses and tax returns make no sense to me. Admittedly, I may have missed some vital info.
