This is a complex one, firstly because you do not tell us which country/laws apply. However, normally a man and wife are jointly liable for each others debts unless they have taken steps to prevent this. Also a credit card debt is normally unsecured (against property) and therefore you would have to be made bankrupt for your house to be in jeopardy. Finally there are ways to deal with credit card (and other debts) and you would be well advised to get help. There are debt counseling companies that will help you for a small fee or there are volunteer advisory agencies (like the citizens advice service for UK residents) that will help you for free.
