MIght I suggest that you stop referring to it as "our" account, especially when communicating with a Marriott hotel or Bonvoy customer service.
It is "your" account and yours alone, and you risk losing it by treating it as a family account. Your wife can have her own account and you can pool your points together.
There has been no policy change. Merely some hotels are paying more attention to blatant violations of the rules.
