You cannot be resident in 2 countries at the same time. I would think that if you are legally married to a Spaniard that you will not have to many problems. Suggest you come to Spain and with her Spanish she can make the relevant enquiries and applications etc and the fact that she has a work contract I think you will be issued with a Residence certificate and health services etc.
