I would, and in fact have, with an aquaintance. I wouldn't with a friend. Fortunately, I have no friends so it doesn't come up. :)
Although he saw my husband briefly at the very beginning of my therapy. We were both doing short term CBT stuff with him at the time, and there didn't seem to be any reason not to. It didn't seem worse than sharing a teacher. My husband only went a few sessions. We went into deeper work and I'd never want my husband to see him professionally at this point. But I'm kind of glad it worked out that way, because now my therapist knows my husband first hand and understands his temperament.
