Not unless you signed the original contract as a co-signer.
Some States have laws that make spouses liable for each others debts, but since it was incurred before you were married you should not fall under this type of law.
About the most they can do is take your wife to court, get a judgment and garnish her wages.

As long as you were not a co-signer on the loan, a creditor cannot legally but a judgement on you. However, this can hurt your chances of getting a mortgage or any other type of credit if you are applying with her, because it will show up on her report.

If you were not on the original loan contract, no. The creditor can also not attach any jointly owned assest either.
