They will stay in the home. A few wives/husbands have been known to glitch out of the house (such as Jenassa) but finding them usually fixes this. Every spouse will open a shop and give you 100 septims daily (it stacks over time) and they will give you a Homecooked Meal. If your spouse is classified as a follower, you can collect your share of their money any time (but once a day). You can also get the food from them. You can only sell goods to them if they have not been following you as their store money disappears when you ask for your share while they are following you.
