Would we qualify as a teaching couple?

Hello, thanks for taking the time to read my post. A little background info....
I am currently teaching SEN at an IB International school with my husband who is a "trailing spouse". I had 5 years of teaching prior to this position (my first international school) and hold a Masters in Education along with a special education credential. We would very much like to continue this lifestyle but the goal would be for my husband to obtain his credential and teach as well. He currently is teaching English at a local language school and substitute teaches at our school occasionally. He holds a degree in Environmental Science with a bio emphasis and is interested in pursuing a credential in Science. We have been looking into the Teacher Ready program through the University of Western Florida. My question is this:
What would the chances be of us getting hired as a teaching couple in the future with my teaching experience and him having the certification and student teaching experience at an IB school but not having had a full time position?
Thanks!!
