People in the same household have high chances of infecting each other.

Please read that comment again, it's about RE-infection

I know it is, my point is that two spouses getting re-infected isn't two independent things.

It's not like bringing your bomb onto a plane decreases the odds of an attack, because what are the odds of two bombs.

The devil is in the details here. If natural immunity wears off after 6-9 months (as some studies suggest), and one spouse got infected again after that period, then the odds of the other one of getting re-infected too are pretty high.
