Yes... you changed only the sentence for the husband, and left the
sentence for the wife unchanged. <g>

Open the Tag, then click the Sentence button to open the Sentence
Structures screen. Notice at the top, a field labeled "Role" - when a
tag has two principals, there will be two roles listed. The upper one
is for the person entered as P1 in the tag, and the second is for the
person entered as P2.

Select the role for the person you want to change, and that person's
sentence will appear in field below for you to edit. If you want to
change the sentences for both principals, you need to edit them both.

(No, it didn't used to work that way when you used the default
"Principal" role - you used to only have one sentence available. This
was changed a couple of upgrades ago.)
