Dear James,

    Go to James's profile and click EDIT at the top.  You should see his wife listed on the right hand side.  Underneath the wife's name should be two lines - "edit marriage to name"  and "add/remove spouse".  The second is the one you should click.  That will bring up a new tab for "Add Spouse of ... ".   Then you add the new person in that form.

Hope this makes sense!   -NGP

Hi James.  I don't believe there is any way to designate a spouse whose name would display in the top section of a profile, i.e., in the "Husband Of" line, without creating a new profile for that person.  I think the only thing you can do if you don't want to create a profile is just identify the multiple wives in free-form text in the Biography section.  If the reason for not wanting a profile is that the person is still living, you can create a private profile that doesn't display the data to the general public.  Private profiles are described in detail in the help index.
