Non-EU spouse residence - Sweden

[roxx79]

Dear All,
I am British and will hopefully be moving to Europe from Bangkok with my Thai partner and our two young children.

For my partner to gain a residency permit as my spouse, what requirements need to be met for Sweden?

We are lesbian and in a UK Civil Partnership and my partner speaks some Swedish. I am a teacher and hope to find a job in an international school.

Can anyone shed light on
a) the acceptance of my partner as my legal spouse in Sweden for the residence card,
b) on any language requirements
c) on any fabulous places to live

Furthermore, as an excellent English speaker, would she be likely to be able to get any work in a hotel (she is a very talented chef)?
Thanks,
R
