Splitting husband and wife contacts - best practices

Morning!

Curious if I am going about this the correct way. I have been splitting any contacts that were migrated over from IPoint as a couple, example; Johnson, John & Jill, if there are two separate emails listed. And leaving them alone if there is only one email listed.

My thought was that if we want to pull emails for a marketing campaign, we would need them to be listed individually in order to grab both emails, since a curated list would pull the primary email only, right?

Am I on the right track here? Any reasons why it would be worth going a step further to split them either way? Or is there a way to grab multiple emails from one contact card?

Also, thinking out loud, that makes me wonder if we went with the later option of keeping them combined and grabbing multiple emails, what would happen with clients who have multiple email addresses, like a personal one and a work one. We wouldn't want them to get marketing emails from us at both email addresses. Maybe I just answered my own question? Lol Feeling curious, might delete later ๐Ÿ˜‚
