Depends on the b-school, but some explicitly ask for your partner's education and current job. It will help if they're a student (or even if they're just working in the area) because it increases the probability you'll attend / affects yield

It would help more if you two were a package deal applying at the same time.

Oh there is an assumption that the already-admitted partner is the stronger applicant
