I am aware of two pairings where a husband and wife both have asteroids
named in their honor. In one case, the wife is on the list but the other
is in astronomy (Richard should have known this):

118945 Rikhill
164215 Doloreshill

and in the other case, the husband and the wife both have asteroids but
due to their science education (the husband is on the list):

3439 Lebofsky
5052 Nancyruth
