Something went wrong with the rendering of the screencast causing the sound to drop out about half-way through. I re-rendered the file and all is well now. Please see the original post to view the video.

The Varied Ways to Add a Spouse in Reunion 9
Adding spouses is a common task undertaken with any genealogy software. It’s also one of the sources of dreaded duplicate records. Considering the frequency of use and the perils, it makes sense to take the time to understand the subtleties of how to add spouses in your genealogy program.
In the genealogy software, Reunion 9 for Mac, you can add new people as spouses (people for whom there is no record in the family file) or people for whom a record already exists in your family file. You can add a spouse to a family card where there is already a different spouse and to one where there is not. In combination there are four situations, all of which I cover in this video from the MacGenealogist Archives, Adding a Spouse in the Reunion for Macintosh Genealogy Software. I also show you how to add a same-gender partner.
Setting the Preferred Spouse in Reunion 9
Tired of having to switch spouses after navigating to a family card for a relative with multiple spouses? Well, you’re in luck. The spouse you want displayed by default can be configured quite easily in genealogy software, Reunion for Mac.
In this video from the MacGenealogist Archives, Setting the Preferred Spouse in the Reunion for Macintosh Genealogy Software, I show you how it’s done.
