After I made them married in wedding ceremonies, the couples didn't want to be merged by themselves although the wedding was successful so I had to split them from their families and merged them manually. Did anyone get this problem?

Hm, that's odd. When I got two Sims married, they asked if I wanted to merge their households.

Yup, same things happened to me.
Stupidest incident was when I had two sims get married and not long afterwards, the groom said he had to go home and ran off. So they spend their first night of marriage apart. Was really weird having her have to ring up her own husband to invite him over afterwards.... . This happened in my game pre-Generations by the way so I doubt it's a Generations glitch.

It's more common with Generations. When that happens to me I just go into edit neighborhood and merge them. Stupid bugs.

Yep had that with a sim from China. I got them married but she did not move in. After two unsuccessful wisits i divorced hir and married a townie. She moved in with no problems.
