I like to keep all the generations of a tree in line, nice and neat. But I've come across a marriage between distant cousins who are of different generations. Conundrum.

My options seem to be either:
(A) leave them separate and elongate the marriage connector to bridge the gap, or
(B) elongate the parent-child line for the spouse who sits higher up the tree, bringing them a generation lower.

For some reason (B) seems neater to me. Maybe because it's a touch more compact horizontally? Or because I instinctively expect a longer vertical line to lead to a child, rather than spouse? But then you'd have to lower their sibling/s too, because they'd look strange separated, especially if a younger sibling ended up a generation higher on the tree.

Is there an official way to handle this? (A)? (B)? Something completely different? And if there's no official guide, I'd still like to hear what people personally recommend.
