When only one of the partners has passed away, in the "Partners" column he/she is referred to as late, meaning that the living partner is a widow or widower. Also, you can write tis information in the "biography" section. Hope that this helps.

I accept what you say when one partner is living, but not very helpful for previous generations when none are living. If the marriage dates are known then the sequence of events is obvious but when no dates are available it appears as if one relative is married to two people !!!!!
You can write this information in the "biography" section so it doesn't cause confusion. I'm afraid this is all you can really do to differentiate marriages, besides dates.
