It's not that debt goes from one spouse to the other.

When you marry someone you become some sort of combined entity where assets/liabilities now belong to the husband-and-wife-estate figure and not by any of them individually (obv. disregarding the effects of prenups and similar clauses).

That's not the case in any state for assets and liabilities acquired before the marriage, including community property states.
