In order to add a living spouse, you will need to create the record. Follow the steps below:

1. While signed in to FamilySearch.org, click Family Tree.
2. Navigate to the Person page of an immediate family member of the living individual.
3. If you do not see Vitals near the top of the page, click Details.
4. Scroll to the Family Members section.
5. Click the appropriate link (Add Spouse, Add Child, or Add Parent).      
6. Enter information about the individual. Indicate that he or she is living.
7. Click Next. 
8. Click Create Person.

You have to add him as a duplicate.You cannot add his personal record with the ID that he sees when he signs into Family Tree.

This is due to current privacy restrictions for living people.
