Thank you for the quick response. Can you tell me which variables I should be using to do the merges for men and women to the couple dataset please? I am confused because the variables mv001 mv002 and mv003 together do not uniquely identify men in the couples recode. Also mcaseid does not exist in the couples recode. Here is my Stata command and output:

duplicates report mv001 mv002 mv003

Duplicates in terms of mv001 mv002 mv003
