Should the military give special consideration for one or both members of a dual military couple? Would it be any different if they have children. Should both members be expected to go to the field / deploy together or take turns?

Absolutely they should go to the field, when you signed your contract, your marriage status had no relevance on your duty. And the military already give special consideration, it is called the married couples program, it may not be perfect but it exists.
It is the responsibility of the individual SM to decide what is more important to them their careers and job or their families, almost all will choose family so that is where the sacrifice of dual military comes into play for those who choose to stay in that situation and do their duty.

I think they should give more consideration than they do during PCS cycles. There is a lot of dual military couples serving. The government saves a lot more money when they PCS a couple to the same duty location at the same time. They also save a lot when it comes to couples with dependents. I've seen too many couples (great troops) ETS because there was no consideration.
The military is doing a great job when it comes to deployment/field cycles.
