Proper way to address and envelope for a dr and spouse?

DR. and Mrs. Smith, or Dr. and Mr. Smith, depending on the genders of the couple, but, in the second case, you might want to use the form Dr. Smith and Mr. Smith since men easily get their shorts in a knot over being upstaged by their spouses (or by anyone, for that matter).

If the couple are same-sex I would suggest always separating the names: Dr. Smith and Mr. LeBlanc or Dr. Smith and Ms. Leblanc.

Comment

Contrary to the opinion of the poster above, men of education do not "easily get their shorts in a knot", where etiquette dictates proper form. If they do, perhaps it is time to upgrade your circle of associates.

What is the proper way to address a male dr and spouse?

When preparing an envelop for postal delivery to a male physician and his spouse, there are several styles that are proper. The oldest and most formal style is:

Dr. and Mrs. Martin Jones

or

Dr. and Mrs. Jones

Because referencing the wife by her husband's full name this way is very annoying to some people as a vestige of female secondary status in a marriage, an acceptable alternative is:

Dr. Martin Jones and Mrs. Mary Jones

or, if less formality is acceptable:

Dr. Martin and Mary Jones

or, with even less formality:

Martin and Mary Jones

Remember that is some regions, a physician need not be called "Doctor" in all circumstances, especially when the practice of medicine is not a major part of why you are addressing him or her.

Should a woman be addressed by her husband's first name?

When considering this rather outdated form of address, you need only consider how it will be taken by the person addressed.

If she considers it a source of pride to be addressed as her husband's partner - perhaps because he has had great accomplisments - then yes, by all means, use this form.

Otherwise it is a bit demeaning and possibly subservient or even truckling.
