Based on my research, the requirement's required are the following...it includes the travel insurance and the proof of the visit which will be the flights and etc...

The documents required are:

Your Schengen visa application form

Use the standard Schengen visa application form.
Submit the required number of copies.
When you take out an AXA Schengen travel insurance policy, you will be given an insurance certificate. This is a personal document that you must print out and send to the consulate.

Passport

Your passport must be valid for three months after the expiry date of the visa you are applying for.

Purpose of visit

You must submit documents stating not only the purpose of your trip but the conditions in which you are travelling as well.

Means of transport: for example, a return air ticket, proof of transport by car, train, etc.
The purpose of your trip: this might simply be proof of reservation of a tourist trip. But it might also be an invitation from one of your friends or relatives…
The money needed for your trip: you must demonstrate that you have the requisite financial resources to cover your needs throughout your trip. Requirements may differ from country to country in the Schengen area, so please check with the embassies and consulates of the countries concerned for details of those requirements.
The conditions in which you will be accommodated during your trip – a hotel reservation, for example. In some cases, additional information may be requested by the authorities of the countries concerned.

Those questions will be set out in the visa application form. Don’t forget to provide the proofs with the application form.

Schengen travel insurance

To obtain a visa, you will need travel insurance to cover the costs of repatriation and emergency medical expenses worth at least €30,000. The AXA Schengen insurance policy meets the requirements for obtaining a Schengen visa. The insurance certificate must be presented at the time of delivery of the visa.

That information is only correct if you will not be travelling with your UK spouse and you intend to make a standard application.

If you will travel with your UK spouse that research information is incorrect.
Just review the application form and check out those questions indicated with an "*"

Good luck whichever route you decide to take.
You will find it quite complex to secure a schenghen visa if you wish to go ahead without travelling with your UK spouse.

Hope this will help clarify
