Hi,
I have also had the same problem on family search.

I have found a way round this. Once the page opens onto say marriages of
your given name, then you click on one name to find the marriage partner, I
do not click the back button, but SEARCH RESULTS. This takes you back to
the full page of marriages (or births). The when you are ready to go back
to the first page to change a name etc, click on REFINE SEARCH. All is
exactly the same.

I hope this helps.
