I'm not sure how that is relevant to spousal priviledge. It's about who can be called to testify, and by whom; not about the extent of their involvement in the crime.

It's there to avoid putting someone in the position of having to choose between condemning their spouse and perjuring themselves.

Gay marriage wins final legislative approval in Washington state

(Reuters) - A bill to legalize gay marriage in Washington state won final legislative approval
on Wednesday in a largely party-line vote that moved the state to the cusp of becoming the seventh
in the nation to recognize same-sex nuptials.

Washington's Democratic Governor Christine Gregoire said she looked forward to signing the measure
and "putting into law an end to an era of discrimination" even as opponents,
led by religious conservatives, vowed to seek its repeal at the polls in November.
