   * Most of the time, Find a Spouse doesn't work at all. As far as I can work out, it locks up after the first action you take on the Family screen, regardless of what that action is.

   * But that's not an impediment to reproduction, because you can Have Child With Spouse even if you're single.

   * Spouses are non-entities. This sort of negates the point of having them at all; if spouses lack distinctive personalities that can influence the game, then they're deadweight both for gameplay and for story. (I'm assuming that this is planned for later.)

   I concur. Did you manage to find a spouse at all?
   I failed six times in a row finding a spouse.

   I did get a nifty event with an distant aunt trying to arrange a marriage.
   But it seems that all the options in the event didn't matter much in outcome.

   The problem with spouses is actually a problem of unimplemented features.

   Currently, when you go to the "find a spouse option" it wants to run an event...none of which we have--so it automatically fails. Fortunately, you don't need spouses to have kids (this is the 21st century after all ;))

   The lack of personality in spouses is actually a direct result of a lack of robustness in the unslotted heroes overall. You should find that spouses will become much more interesting as we develop the code necessary to randomly assign names and randomly generate traits.
