I am just another 'lowly User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
For a "Couple" ...
Short Answer(s): 'No'; and, 'No'.
ONLY the EARLIEST 'Dated' "Event" (ie. the "Marriage") will appear in the "Family Members" Section, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, for an individual/person.
Subsequent "Events" (eg. "Divorce") will NOT appear in the "Family Members" Section, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, for an individual/person.
As an aside ...
DO NOT include either, the "Marriage Banns"; or, the "Marriage Licence", in the in the "Family Members" Section, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, for an individual/person; OTHERWISE, they will appear, instead of a "Marriage".
And ...
IF, there is MORE, than ONE "Marriage", for the SAME "Couple" (it happens: Marriage - Divorce - Marriage); THEN, only the FISRT "Marriage", will appear in the "Family Members" Section, on the "Person/Details" page/screen, for an individual/person - subsequent 'Events" will NOT appear.
Just my thoughts.
I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.

Furthermore ...
Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch', that reference the aforementioned matters:
How do I add or change marriage information in Family Tree?
What does "banns of marriage" mean?

How do I view divorce information in Family Tree?
I hope, that these may also help/assist, somewhat.

If you want both a marriage and a subsequent divorce to show on a profile's detail page, without needing to open a flyout or anything else, you'll have to enter one or both events as custom events under Other Information. The couple box only shows the chronologically earliest event that has been entered in the relationship section.
