Sourcing for a Marriage Record
The new page has a Tag Sources option in the Couples Relationship Page which is wonderful, however, it only offers 1 source option to be added. Often marriage information is found in other records that do not include the word "Marriage" in the title . It would be nice if all sources could be listed as an option like it does for other vital tags - birth, death, etc. Perhaps the suggestion further down could solve this concern.
Is it possible to add a "Marriage" option to the Vital Tags in the Source itself, so we could tag ALL Vital events in the same place? This would be helpful as some sources have marriage information added later by the recorder, for example - marriage date and spouse in the comments section on a birth record.

The relationship sources area is currently completely separate from the main sources list: you have to add a source on the couple popup in order for it to appear on the list for tagging the marriage. Back in September, I thought it was a bug: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/130966/bug-report-where-are-the-rest-of-his-sources#latest
Simply adding a bubble for marriage wouldn't work, because people have more than one marriage. The tagging would have to work the way Other Information tags work, with the "Add Tag" (series of) popups.

Making this more intuitive is on my list wish as well.
As Julia Szent-Györgyi pointed out it is a bit more complicated. Even more so than just a good UI to solve the issue. It’s on the radar, but no work has been done on it.
