Then it wouldn't matter, would it?

Yes, that would be better.

No I don't, if I have a man and I want to add his wife (from his Person View)
then P1 = the wife and he = P2, and it isn't very practical to first add the wife
as an unrelated person and then add the marriage tag

I know, I do that, if I don't forget it, but I don't want to do that every time,
that's why I want to have the option to once choose, per tag type, that
P1=Male and P2=Female (or the other way around)

For this I use John's utility.

It still does, and I have used it to clean up my database, but I don't want to
do that every month or so, just because I used the 'Add Wife' feature or first
added the father and then the mother!
