Still do, for me the interface and the help text were misleading.

The language in help 3.6.2 is quite general:

        Does the person who will form the relationship
        with the Active person already exist in the database? If yes, click
        the Select button to the other person.

...that text is just what led me to try the actions that caused the
proposed bug -- the term "relationship" usually applies to marriage,
and the marriage option in the 'Type:' pull-down implies selection.  

Suggested fix:  either a selection button for marriage should be added,
(but why have more than one selection button when a button can be made
state-smart?), or help 3.6.2 should be made less vague.

BTW if that interface cannot select for marriage, (i.e. marry two
preexisting "unmarried" persons in the database), then how should one do
that, or can it be done yet?

Note:  you didn't mention the problem with children being older than
their parents, but that's probably another thing entirely, so I'm
resubmitting that as a separate bug.
