Neither do I.

It seems to be the custom in the WW for women to take their husbands'
surnames on marriage. So if Minnie was married to Albus, she'd be Mrs
Dumbledore.

Quite so. I'm sure (and I think JKR has said so) that there are marital
connections to come out involving the faculty, we've just not been told
about them yet. But Hogwarts has I'm  sure plenty of room for married
teachers on the premises (for those who live in) and of course there is no
reason for the less important members of the hierarchy to live in at all.

Maybe there's a School Close in Hogsmeade with houses rented out to the
married teachers!
