Hmm... No not really. Well if your married then its ok. I mean, well... is it from a person? Like a letter? or is it taxes or something?

Added: Not enough information is given to give a 100% accurate answer. If you are married and living together in the same residence - it's probably okay.

However - if you are separated or undergoing a divorce and you are opening mail clearly not meant for you, - yes, you could be in violation of US Postal regulations.
