Four couples play bridge every month. The wives' names are Gladys, Hariett, Susan and Bonnie. The husband's names are Marv, Allan, Steve and Herb (but not in that order).

  • Marv is Susan's brother.
  • Susan and Herb were engaged, but broke up when Herb met his present wife.
  • Bonnie has two brothers, but her husband is an only child.
  • Gladys is married to Steve.
  • Who is married to whom?

Explain in detail how you found your answer using words, numbers, and/or pictures.
