Does marrying someone with bad credit affect my credit score?

Married couples generally maintain two separate credit records and histories. However, if you decide to take out a loan with your spouse, all payment history from then on will be recorded on both credit reports. When creditors generate reports, they are required by law to report information on a joint account in both of the account holders' names.
