Hola Allison

Yes, if you think you must treat this person, Carmen, more formally, you could use the conjugation of usted, not tú. So you could also say "Carmen, ha de ser más comprensiva con SU marido" (Notice, though, that you would also have to change the possesive to the formal form, "su", not "tu")

Saludos
