Another way do this:

<xsl:template match="members/profile/married">
<xsl:if test=".='false'">no</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test=".='true'">yes</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

is this:

<xsl:template match="members/profile/married[.='false']">no</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="members/profile/married[.='true']">yes</xsl:template>

Also, the members/profile/ qualifier is probably redundant.
