to learn about the refusal! But - to the best of MY knowledge - it SHOULDN'T jeopardise your application for a spousal visa.
Which country denied the short-term visit visa, btw? Was it the United States or Canada by any chance? I do believe these two nations are particularly strict!! On the other hand, if it was a 'Schengen Visa' ... permitting travel within many EU countries ... then it's more surprising - UNLESS of course it wasn't granted because you're not YET the holder of a UK Spousal Visa.
