Anybody can be given the POA and that includes spouses. People usually give POAs to several people with a clause stating that they can act severally or together.
I would recommend this because a DF and her DH had a POA for her mother, worded so that they had to act together, both sign all cheques/documents etc. Her DH died suddenly and the POA was void and months and money, at a time when she could have done without it, had to be spent setting up a new POA with her as the only attorney.
