Correct way to enter 2 marriages - same couple

Can anyone confirm what is the best way to enter two marriages between the same two people. I have a couple who married, and later got married again. This cannot be too unusual where a couple divorce and later remarry. I have entered the second marriage as though it is a marriage to a new person, but linked it to the existing husband. This results in the spouse showing in two seperate boxes in diagrams, linked by a yellow curved line. Is this the correct way to do it?

Personally, I would simply have added a second marriage to the original Family As Spouse. So in reports you would see

Married, Divorced, Married.

Thanks Jane. That's a much more straightforward way to do it. I guess I must just be a bit dense!!!
