There are only three different kinds of spouses in the creative world. Those that have no interest in getting involved, those that want to help but get in the way and those that are unquantifiable assets. Unfortunately, most people have a largely negative perception of hands on spouses because of Yoko Ono.s assumed severing of The Beatles.
