Buying a house while married

Im posting out of curiousity for something thats been hard for me to find a solid answer on. Ive googled what happens if you buy a house when you're married and if your partner obtains ownership of it as well. Ive read that if the deed is in your name only, then the house is your property if one day a divorce occurs. But i have also read that whatever you buy with your income during a marriage becomes marital property, giving your spouse rights to said house. I want to protect myself for obvious reasons should a marriage ever come to that, but how does that work and how could I be sure that a house I buy would be 100% my possession? Or is that even a possibility? If i do one day make house flipping a career, this seems like a huge risk if i should ever get married and things go south. Seems like I would potentially lose all of my assets.
