Carolyn,
I had a similar question about how divorce and separations were handled. I think marital status was taken at each year's interview, which would have allowed them to use a binary measure of married/unmarried at each time. I'm not sure whether they assigned each woman to the marital status where they spent most of their time during the study period? I'd be curious if others have a better grasp on this than I do.
