Experience I have been writing a daily etiquette advice column for 8 years.

Question I have scanned previous questions and answers regarding proper addressing etiquette for couples in which both are Drs, but did not see this scenario: How do you address a woman (who is a Dr) by her husband's name when he is a Dr. too. Is it Mrs. Dr. John Doe?
Answer Dear Connie,
No,in the case of the woman being a doctor,a military officer,a
judge,office holder,etc. you simply use two lines on the envelope:
Dr. Betsy Banks
Dr. Milliard Banks
742 Evergreen Terrace
Some City,ST 00000
It is never correct to address a woman as 'Mrs. Senator Fred
Thompson' or 'Mrs. Reverend Cotton Mather',etc. It was fashionable
to do so for a time. Somewhere between 1850 and 1870 as I recall,
but it never really caught on,thank goodness.
