I don't know if this is what you have in mind, but they've all starred with their significant others:
Mia Farrow & Woody Allen in Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy & many others
Julia Roberts & Lyle Lovett in The Player and Pret-a-Porter (to say nothing of Kiefer and who else...?)
Jessica Lange & Sam Shepard in Crimes of the Heart and others
Anne Bancroft & Mel Brooks in To Be or Not to Be and others
Geena Davis & Jeff Goldblum in The Fly and Earth Girls Are Easy (and she was directed by Renny Harlin in Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight)
Ditto, macsm.
