Yes, but not all partners are echtgenotes. An ''echtgenoot'' or ''echtgenote'' is someone who is married, while partners may or may not be married.
edit: it just occurred to me that the literal translation of "echtgenote/echtgenoot'' is ''spouse''.
Why can't we use "uw" instead of "jouw" here, if on a prior exercise of this unit they were interchangeable?

Probably it's just a missing translation, since "zij is uw echtgenote" is correct as well. You should report it, so it can be added.
