Barb,

Not in the example you gave, no.  Given that you will be recording sex, 
address, phone for all, or almost all, of the customers.

The main use for one-to-one relationships is in a sub-typing scenario. 
This is where you have data where there are some data in common for 
all/most records, but there are also fields required specific to certain 
categories of the main data.

Regards
Steve
