Can someone explain the below statement to me with an example/sample... basically what i'm trying to do is handle a member couple profile which will have multiple Firstnames, Age, Height, etc about 10 fields will be similar.

 

You could create duplicate fields, but simply add a single extra field, "coupleId", which would have a unique id for each couple; and two rows (one for each person) per couple; then JOIN the table against itself with a constraint like a.coupleId = b.coupleId AND a.id <> b.id so that you can condense the data into a single result row for a given couple.
