The invariant subspace method is used to classify a class of systems of nonlinear dispersive evolution equations and determine their invariant subspaces and exact solutions. A crucial step is to take subspaces of solutions to linear ordinary differential equations as invariant subspaces that systems of evolution equations admit. A few examples of presenting exact solutions with generalized separated variables illustrate the effectiveness of the invariant subspace method in solving systems of nonlinear evolution equations.
