You do this way: 1st choice from 10 people : 10 choices 2nd choice from 8 people left (since the spouse of the 1st person is out): 8 choices 3rd choice from 6 people left (since the spouses of the 1st and 2nd persons are out): 6 choices
However, we do not need to rank the three person in order, so the final possibilities is 10*8*6/3! = 80
