Yes, if it's one account with both of your names.
Yes and No. Your wife can certainly be an authorized user on your credit card account and have a card that goes to your reward account. If you are asking whether she can get the 20,000 sign up bonus then the answer is no. The primary card holder has to be the same as the rewards account holder. Really not a problem with Marriott because spouses can combine points for awards. If you want the bonus, just get your wife to open a rewards account and get a credit card.

well, my wife went ahead and setup her own acct (with me as an authorized user, NOT joint acct holser) before waiting for your responses, and the visa rep said it is OK to use my marriott reward acct. I'll see what happens

No, she is signing up one for herself...with me as an authorized user. At some point, I want to be signed up as joint holder (financially responsible).
I have several business with difference tax ID. I try to have chase do the same with difference card/ difference business but I am the guarantor for all and all goes to my personal Marriott points. they wouldn't give me the bonus 20K point for each card on this senario. So I ended up getting, a chase Southwest airline card, chase freedome card, chase Marriott card. and other.

Marriott does allow spouses to transfer points between Marriott Rewards accounts if needed to claim a travel award. It therefore should not really matter that much if a credit card is in her name and points accummulate to her Marriott Rewards account rather than yours.
I'll admit that I haven't tried this yet, however. My wife and I have separate Marriott Rewards accounts and we both accummulate points. But, so far, I've had enough points in my account to cover all of the travel awards we have taken.
You can call the 800# for Marriott Rewards and I'm sure they will explain to you how this would work.
Regarding the sign-up bonus: If one of you has a business, it should be possible for one spouse to have a Marriott Rewards business credit card and the other spouse have a Marriott Rewards personal credit card. I think you'd both get the sign-up bonus. You will pay an annual fee on both credit card accounts.
