How is this in any way relevant to the question that was asked?
To the OP, this can work, but it can also get really tricky. I found that most hotels are willing to work with you, but essentially you need to change names twice. Book under your name to get benefits, then change during the stay to get a bill in your spouses name then change it back to your name to ensure Marriott credit. That's tough, not all hotels will happily do this. I would add your spouses name as a second guest name in the reservation when booking it.
