Yes: they'll be able to cover things you aren't as comfortable with, and thus complement your own skills.
No: since you're 'looking', it'll be hard to find someone you trust thoroughly enough to really share the work with. It's easy for non-tech types to dream up lots of hard things to code.
My thinking was to continue to lead the technical vision for the service, with the non-tech co-founder sharing learned experiences and leading other aspects of the company startup.
All things considered, I think what I've picked up from the books and articles like 'founders at work' is to go with whoever you're really comfortable with, and trust, on a personal level. Someone that you "go way back with". (Yes, that's a catch 22 if you're looking for one now:-/ )
