I understand that spouses can give unlimited amounts to each other but does that apply when one spouse is not a US citizen?

I am a US citizen, married to a non-US Person who has never a greencard nor lived in the US. We both live together outside the USA.   We have separate foreign (non-US) bank accounts and have transferred substantial amounts from my account to hers and vice-versa. Are these transfers considered "gifts" by the IRS and, if so, subject to a "gift tax"?
