Actually, I read an interview with the showrunner. He said that when they were considering this ending, he asked their NYPD technical advisor to bring him the written rule about spouses not working as partners...and they were both shocked to find it doesn't exist! The rule says they must let their superiors know about the relationship, but there is no official rule saying they cannot work together, although most are encouraged not to. They figured that gives the writers leeway to keep them together as partners, and gives them plenty of new drama to play with moving forward.

I also take my latte with two pumps skinny vanilla but I usually have to get it myself.
