		Thank you very much for your reply. 
 
I am using SPSS and I used this syntax; 
 
GET FILE='MLMR53FL.SAV'. 
SORT CASES by MV001 MV002 MV034$1. 
save outfile = 'MLmen.sav'. 
 
GET FILE='MLIR53FL.SAV'. 
SORT CASES by V001 V002 V003. 
save outfile = 'MLwomen.sav' / keep v001 v002 v003 G102. 
 
MATCH FILES /file=' MLmen.sav' /table='MLwomen.sav' 
 /rename v001 = mv001 v002 = mv002 v003 = mv034$1 G102=JG102$1 
 /BY MV001 MV002 MV034$1. 
save outfile = "MLmen+wives.sav". 
 
Maybe there is something wrong with my syntax? 
 
Would you expect the couples recode to only include the 1st wife? 
 
Many thanks for your help. 
 
Janet
