Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

I am engage to get married in 2010. I am concerned because my fiance is in debt. If he were to pass after we are married, would I be responsible for the debt he acquired before we married? Also, after his death as a married couple what debts would I be responsible for?
