When shares are transferred from husband to wife, the wife's 'qualifying holding period' is treated as including any time when the husband owned them. (Obviously the same applies on transfers from wife to husband, but this item will be more comprehensible if I avoid terms like 'transferring spouse' and 'transferee spouse'.)
