    You can add a second spouse via the profile Details tab.

    Here are the instructions. In the case of a second spouse, the add spouse prompt is below the first spouse and children.

    I think this question comes up occasionally because while you can add children, add a first set of parents, and add a first spouse while working from the Landscape Pedigree view:

    it is impossible to add a second spouse there (or a second set of parents). This can only be done, as stated above and in the instructions posted above, on the detail tab of the profile page or First Ancestor view:
