Why don't you do the job properly and marshall the two sets of arms onto a single shield (husband's dexter (left as viewed from front) wife's sinister) or impale the wife's arms (on a small shield in the centre of husband's shield) onto the husbands?

I presume that you are not actually entitled to use either coat of arms and so creating a new coat of arms according to the rules would be no different but would be personal.

Thanks David,
It sounds wonderful,but HOW?

If you need to obtain the shields from this site they can be copied from where you set them up for your profile.

You can then paste them using whatever editing software you intend to use.  Impaling is easiest as you simply need to put a small picture of the wife's shield in the middle of the husband's.   Save the result in a new file and then use that file in your profile.

To marshall the two shields you will need to create a new shield using one of the painting applications but using the original shields to source the various colours and devices.

Thanks David,
I shall endeavour to put that into practice.
