The Relationships View is designed to allow for quick navigation. You can quickly change the Active Person simply by clicking the name of any person listed on the page. Each name is actually a hypertext link, similar to a web page.

The Relationships View displays the following sections:
You may edit an existing parents by selecting the '''Edit''' button next to the parents. If you select the '''Delete''' next to a set of parents, then the Active Person will be removed as a child from the parents. This button does not delete the parents' relationship.
'''{{man warn| Warning:''' |If you are not careful, it is possible to create multiple families with the same parents. This is rarely what the user wants to do. If you attempt to add a new family that has the same parents as an existing family, GRAMPS will issue a warning dialog. If you get this dialog, you should probably Cancel the edit, and then use the '''Select''' button to select the existing family.}}
Similar to the Parents section is the Family section, which displays families where the Active Person is a parent. Because it is possible to have multiple families, it is possible to have multiple Family sections. Each family section displays the spouse and any children.
'''{{man note | Note:''' |We use the term spouse for sake of simplicity. However, please note that spouse may in fact be a domestic partner, a partner in a civil union, or various other similar relationships between two people. Spouse relationships are not required to be only between a male and female.}}
You may add a family by selecting the '''Add Spouse''' in the toolbar. This will create a new family with the Active Person listed as a father or mother.
Selecting the Edit button next to the spouse will allow you to edit the displayed family. Clicking the Delete button will remove the person from the displayed family.
'''Warning:'''{{man warn| Remove a person |Removing a person from a family does not delete the family. The person is removed as the father or mother, and any other relationships in the family continue to exist.}}
