What is the correct way of including degree acronyms after your signature?
The first thing that should be said about this is that unless you are engaging in accademic correspondance you should not use post nominal degree letters (the title Dr may be used socially but this is somewhat old fashioned).
If you are using them however they go in this way
Mr John Smith MTh MA etc
It is not appropriate to list the same qualification more than once; that is to say an MA in French and one in German does not make you John Smith MA MA.
You also do not put qualifications that have been superceded by a higher qualification: so no John Smith MA BA.
Graduates of Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England are obliged to list their masters degrees as MA (Oxon) or MA (Cantab) to signify that they are not examined degrees.
It should be noted that this applies to the UK and (generaly) to the USA other countries have their own rules.

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.
