Sara,
Note I said nothing about entering non blood-related people into your
software, be it spouses, adoptees, or whatever. It is how you treat
them after they are entered that makes the difference between a
genealogist and a family historian.
My point is that non blood-related individuals should not be shown as
ancestors and/or descendants in ancestor/descendat charts or reports as
doing so makes such reports something other than what they are named.
If you call it social relationships or whatever is fine.
As to how you describe your research depends on how you treat it.

Does that mean that if a married couple has no children, the spouse
should be omitted from charts and reports [unless the spouse is a
cousin]?
I guess I am proudly not a genealogist then because there is no way
that I would omit my adopted child from my software [noting
appropriately that he is adopted]. Unfortunately, to the best of my
knowledge, there is no software just for family history. I thought
that Legacy and other popular software was adaptable for both
genealogy and family history.
So, if I am not a genealogist, then how do I describe the bulk of my
research, which does deal with bloodlines [as far as we know them and
subject to the errors that we are all unaware of]?

Why can you not do both?
