"Temple Ready Spouse Sealings" Software Glitch - They Do Not Have All Ordinances Completed
There is a glitch in the software for Temple Ready. I was trying to find couples I could take to the temple for sealings in my own list, but could not find any because they did not have the necessary ordinances completed (Baptism, Endowment, Etc).
So I clicked on "Temple Ready" and it sent me a list of the names I had already eliminated for not having their ordinances completed.
Am I wrong? Don't you need to complete the other ordinances before doing sealings?
If so, this is a glitch that needs to be fixed. If those ordinances do not need to be performed first, please let me know so I can go ahead and do them.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron.
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
This is an ongoing dilemma, for many Members of the Church.
The matter, has been canvased, on numerous occasions, in the various 'iterations' for the 'FamilySearch' Forums.
Short Answer: 'No', this is NOT a 'Glitch', with "OrdinancesReady".
In regards to "Sealing to Spouse" ...
Really, the choice is yours, whether or not, to do the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
As an aside ...
One does not really have to be too concerned ...
We have been advised, that regardless if "Ordinances" are done 'Out of Sequence', not to worry; as, those "Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' simply DO NOT take effect, UNTIL the prerequisite "Ordinances" are "Completed".
And, most importantly ...
"Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' DO NOT have to be done again; as, they are STILL "Valid".
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

[ And ]

[ Note: The Words ... Whenever possible ]
------------------
So, basically ...
Do not be too concerned ...
'Yes', you can proceed, with the "Temple" Work of "Sealing to Spouse" that OrdinanceReady" provides.
[ If you so desire; but, of course, you DO NOT have to, if you do not want to. ]
The choice is yours.
I know that this might not give you comfort and address your concerns; but, I hope that this gives you some more perspective.
