What is similar about the signs for "husband" and "wife"?

Typically SPOUSE singular is signed using the sign for HUSBAND (if it is a male spouse) or WIFE (if it is a female spouse). However, this sign can be used to mean a gender-neutral version of SPOUSE. For example, if someone asks a group the question, "Do you have a spouse?"
