wouldn't want to draw Hogwarts students into a precarious position,
regardless of how safe it was supposed to be.  Notice though, that I
haven't seen anything in canon where anyone's spouse lives with them
at Hogwarts....interesting point you have though.

Carol responds:
If we take as canon that Harry heard James' voice in the
Boggart!Dementor scene with Lupin, then both Lily and James were at
home in Godric's Hollow with baby Harry on Halloween--which they would
not have been if one or both were teaching at Hogwarts.

Whatever they were doing, I don't think it involved teaching--or being
an auror.
