I don't know how this happened but in my Family Tree Maker, my wife is
showing with two spouses -- I, and, [No spouse entered].
In the Family View on FTM, her entry shows a number 2 for the number
of spouses -- which is wrong, we have been married for 46 years and
are each other's only spouse.
I am her #1 spouse and [No spouse entered] is #2. When I bring up #2
spouse, I get a blank box in which I am supposed to enter a name.
How do I delete this unknown, blank spouse?

tried that, when you show the unknown spouse are their any children
shown in the Family View?
In the Family View with the Unknown spouse showing on the right side
with the husband on the left. Highlight each of the children show in
that family view. In Person, Attach/Detach person, detach the the each
of the children.
Once all of the children are detached from the Unknown spouse she will
disappear.

MINUTES had the answer.
