Following is a response from Senior DHS staff members, Tom Pullum:

The IR file includes all women age 15-49 who were interviewed. The CR file (the "couples" file) is limited to women who are mutually matched with a male partner in the same household. The CR file is somewhat smaller than the IR file. Usually you would only use the CR file if you wanted to include characteristics of the male partner in your analysis of the women. Otherwise, the IR file, which is more representative of all women, is preferable.
