How that I hooked you with the catchy title...
How do you handle two constituents that marry.
-Do you merge the records?
-Do you keep them seperate and make associations to each spouses record?
Typically we merge the records. However, when we are dealing with "Power Couples", meaning each one is a high level executive at a company that has ties to our institution , we prefer not to merge the accounts. We create associations to their accounts. This way, when we do extractions, we make sure that each person receives an invitation to their business adress with their business salutations.
