Safety Pilots

My husband has just renewed his Class 2 medical, but has to fly with a safety pilot. No problem, we always fly together anyway.

BUT .... my medical is due in August (and I'm no spring chicken!) so, what happens if I too have to fly with a Safety Pilot??

The CAA says:

"A safety pilot is a pilot who is current and qualified to act as Pilot In Command (PIC) on the class/type of aeroplane and carried on board the aeroplane for the purpose of taking over control should the person acting as the PIC become incapacitated."

So can we be safety pilots for each other??
