What is the procedure where the relationship between two people is one of Partnership or Friendship, not marriage?
The title of Spouse is not relevant in many cases now.
Is Divorced a valid status too? Am I missing some instructions somewhere?
If those in Partnership have children how do we handle that?
We live in a complex society!!

Marriage Status

If you click on the space above the person name - immediately below the context diagram (just to the left of where the ID is shown), you get a pop-up window dialog where you can nominate how you want to describe the relationships. Choose 'partner' if it makes you feel better.
If you click on the little up-arrow in the centre below the context diagram, you get a pop-up that allows you to enter a divorce or other marriage event.
If you enter nothing at all in the fields 'were married on' 'at', then you have 'no marriage event'. If you know they married but don't know when, put Y in the date field. (If you need to get rid of that marriage event, you can do so in the events screen.) If there is no marriage, leave those fields blank and make a note in the 'marriage notes' field.
We do live in a complex world. The children of a relationship are its children, regardless of marriage status or marriage events.
