If you are happy with your system using the RIN. It doesn't matter what others do, it is what works for you thats best. Using the MRIN with multiple marriages is easy, each marriage has it's own MRIN so you create a file for each and in that file you only put files that are to do with that couple. As I said If you are happy with your present system don't change to please others:- Do It Your Way, That's The Right Way.
