To the extent that its true, it equally true of partnerships (unsurprisingly, marriage really is a kind of partnership.) They direction must be the same within the scope of the partnership (profession is outside the scope of the partnership in marriage), and the direction outside the scope of partnership must be compatible with the shared direction within the scope of the partnership.

Absolutely, I'm not saying this isn't true in a startup. I'm saying this tweaked 'scope' is the important part, not that the directions are identical.
