Hi Cheryl, It sounds as if you are creating extra marriages. Look at the marriage icon in Family View. How many times does it say the wife has been married? I suspect you are ending up having her married to an unknown/blank with the children and then married to the right John Deaux but not had any kids with him.
Sounds like the John Deaux may also have two marriages - one with the kids and no wife and one with the wife and no kids. When you add a partner to a person with children, you have to make sure you are adding them to the right "family". There's a good right up on correcting incorrect links at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsRelationshipProblems.asp I think it's Problem 11 you need to read carefully for the initial problem you were trying to correct but now some of the others apply.
