i know, i just hope she does not want to do a tag team type deal...actually on second thought..it might not be too bad...
My wife and I have matching characters that we only play when we're both at the same table. It's actually a lot of fun, and it's a chance to use the oft-neglected teamwork feats!

yep, Lamontia and I have begun to enjoy playing characters that compliment each other and work as a team, rather than just each doing our thing during character creation
it is a lot of fun, but you both have to want to do it, or else one person generally gets stuck playing something they do not like in order to fulfill the other's concept

Yep. As an example, my wife wanted to play a magical swordfighter, and wanted to play "matching" characters using some kitsune boons we had (back when they required a boon). So she made a rapier-wielding kitsune magus, and I "matched" her with a rapier-wielding kitsune arcane duelist (bard archetype). We both took Precise Strike at 3rd level, so whenever we flank with each other, we both get +1d6 damage. I took advantage of the racial bonus to Acrobatics that kitsune get (plus it being a class skill for bards), and bought Daredevil Boots so I can easily make those flanks happen. Between that and Inspire Courage, I can have us both dealing an extra 1d6+2 damage. Later, we'll probably take Outflank, so that when our (probably keen by that point) rapiers crit a flanked foe, we'll be handing each other free attacks. :D

She can use them no problem. Similarly, if you have kids who want to play, they can also use the PDF. Possibly other people who live with you as well, though that tends to be a case by case basis kind of thing..
As far as sitting at other tables, as long as each person has access to the PDF (either in printed form or tablet, laptop, etc) for the stuff they need to have for their character, theyre fine.

I've also been playing a paired set of characters that we only play together. In our case it is my reach cleric and her wild blooded fey sorcerer plus tiger. It can really help since we can coordinate skills and responsibilities.
As the other half of this paired build, I can say that it has been wonderful fun. Both the cleric and sorcerer are sadly short of skill points, but between us we can have a lot of important skills covered. And we manage to balance out any table that we join, bringing one arcane and one divine caster, plus a buff tiger to the mix.
I actually think that it would be interesting to write a mini-guide to paired builds and the pleasures to be found therein... They have a lot to offer.

Jiggy, that sounds like a very fun pair. It's too bad you're both too high tier for our PCs to play with you... I'd love to see your characters working together in game.
Hmm

I think from the "Marriage" stand-point. Anything of yours is also her's. I don't think anyone has the audacity to make this an issue.Yes they do. I have seen on several occasions GMs try to stop people that allowed to share books, including married couples.
Those GMs are breaking the 'Dont be a Jerk' rule.

They are breaking the rules in general. I think that would be cheating and being a jerk, but that is why I posted the link and stated to be ready to defend it.
For physical books, there could be the issue of how far apart the husband and wife are sitting. "Don't be a Jerk" would apply if they were at adjacent tables or if one spouse had a PDF watermarked with their spouse's name and the GM disallowed the resource.

Wife and I have a variety of complimentary characters that play together at the table.
Sometimes, before their first game, we'll run a little mini-session with them playing out a key portion of their origin story. Makes for some great background material to draw on during a game. That's how my Human Ranger became a source of hero-worship for her halfling bard who to this day deathly afraid of skeletons.
