Both spouses will be operative upon the business.
Is it fine to use the solitary propietorship as well as provide the single of the spouses as an employee?
Or is it improved to pull up the partnership with percentages reserved to any spouse?
What have been the implications were the matrimony to go south?
How about the single associate is the owners as well as the alternative the single an worker only?

It is best to have percentages assigned to each of you, whether it’s a 50-50 split or 60-40 or however you wish to divide the business. It’s just less messy when things don’t work out as we intended it to be
Whether you go for a partnership or LLC, what you need also is a buy-sell agreement. This will spell out what happens when one or both of the partners want out of the business, or when one dies (and in your case, when the couple separates).
Have a lawyer draft a buy sell agreement for you. Here’s a sample buy sell agreement that you can check out

If you want an owner-employee situation, you can most certainly have that, depending on whether your wife agrees to it.
