    You can add the second spouse by adding a spouse. Fill in the new spouses name, vitals and marriage date. It does not effect the relationship to the first spouse.

    Hope this helps. Carol

    .

    As 'Carol' has already indicated you can add a Second Spouse/Wife/Partner ...

    .

    In fact ...

    .

    You can add up to a MAXIMUM of 200 Spouses/Wives/Partners to any one individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    Plus, you can also add up to a MAXIMUM of, 100 Parents; and, 400 Children, to any one individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    All that aside ...

    .

    Each "Couple" Relationship is separate and distinct from each other.

    Each "Couple" Relationship has it's OWN set of Children.

    .

    But, that said, Children can have more than one set of Parents, in fact, they can have multiple Parents (all with DIFFERENT "Parent-Child" Relationships); and, be in and across different Families.

    .

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':
