Will this work? Any limits?
Yes, this will work, and it will raise your lifetime MR points total. It will also decrease your spouse's MR lifetime points total. There's a 50,000 points per year limit on such transfers.

However, you can also book a MR reward point hotel room that costs much more than your current MR points balance, then call MR to have MR points from your spouse's account transferred to you specifically to cover the cost of that room award (they can do this if you're short on points). Later when you cancel the room reservation the points will stay on your account and they should add to your lifetime total.
