Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Bankruptcy and marriage

When i file bankruptcy will my spouse's credit be affected? The debt is only in my name and happened before we were married. We have been told by the creditors that they can garnish my spouses wages and include my spouse in the suit if and when it happens. So i am trying to determine that the only way out of this is bankruptcy but my spouse should not be affected.
