A spouse is a husband or a wife. Minnesota allows marriage only between a man and woman. Minnesota abolished common-law marriage on April 27, 1941. Minnesota has no legal definition for "domenstic partner," so a domestic partner can not be considered a spouse in Minnesota.
Baker v. Nelson (Minnesota, 1971). A gay male couple argued that the absence of sex-specific language in the Minnesota statute was evidence of the legislature's intent to authorize same-sex marriages.

In Minnesota, a spouse is generally not responsible for the other spouse's individual debts incurred before or during the marriage unless both spouses jointly incurred the debt or one spouse agreed to be responsible for it. Minnesota follows the concept of "equitable division" in divorce, which means that debts are divided fairly, but not necessarily equally. However, if one spouse can prove that the debt is a joint obligation or that the other spouse benefited from the debt, they may be held responsible. It's advisable to consult a legal professional for specific situations.
