What have you done to help her overcome this problem?  How is your new 
spouse interacting with your dog?  There is an excellent article on how 
to deal with this issue here: http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/submissive.htm

One of the dogs that I have dog sat used to have an excitement urination 
problem.  We managed the problem and worked with her until she grew out 
of it.  Considering how many perfectly good dogs are out there looking 
for homes, I'd say that you're much better off working to solve this 
problem rather than dumping her when it became a little inconvenient for 
you.
