Add the function to remove add Spouse box from single ancestor. This would keep the tree neater and not have unnecessary unused boxes.

    I am just another User/Patron like yourself ...

    .

    FYI

    .

    That is an oft suggested/requested enhancement.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    I DO NOT think that such a suggested/requested enhancement will ever be implemented.

    .

    We all make mistakes ...

    None of us are perfect ...

    .

    No matter how much, we think we know; or, we have researched, we just DO NOT know EVERYTHING.

    .

    There are always 'Skeletons in the Closet' ...

    .

    I myself have come across, individuals/persons, that ANOTHER User/Patron, indicated that they DID NOT "Marry" or have a "Couple" Relationship; when, in fact, they DID "Marry" or have a "Couple" Relationship. 

    .

    IF, you give Users/Patrons the option to "Remove" that "+ Add Spouse" Option; THEN, some (in fact, most) Users/Patrons WILL take it for granted that the individual/person, DID NOT "Marry" or have a "Couple" Relationship; and, go no further; when, in fact, they DID - just NOT 'found' by the User/Patron who "Removed" that "+ Add Spouse" Option.

    .

    Nowadays, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, you have the Option, in the "Other Information" Section, under "Facts", that there was "NO Couple Relationships", for an individual/person, just select that, add a "Reason Statement"; and, "Save".

    .

    Plus ...

    As well as the aforementioned ...

    .

    You can add copious "Notes" (in fact, the SAME "Note", in each spot) to what you believe is the case ...

    .

    eg.

    ▬ Life Sketch;

    ▬ Other Information

    ▬ ▬ Facts

    ▬ ▬ ▬ Custom Fact; and,

    ▬ Collaboration, both,

    ▬ ▬ Notes; and,

    ▬ ▬ Discussions

    ...... [ "Discussions" currently CANNOT be "Deleted"/"Removed" by others ]

    .

    It may seem OVERKILL ...

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    That way, you 'cover all the bases' ...

    And, NO User/Patron can say that they "Missed that" ...

    [ Unfortunately, some will; but, you cannot make it 'foolproof' ... ]

    .

    Just my thoughts.
