Can you use the Household Member Recode (PR)? That should have some information on both the men and women and you wouldn't need to merge them.

Also, I believe that HHID is the variable you want (or it's version in the men/women's recode). From the recode manual for DHS VI:

Case identification uniquely identifies each household. In most surveys this is constructed by concatenating the cluster or sample point number and the household number, but in some surveys this may be the questionnaire number taken from the front page of the questionnaire.
