What defines a partner? Someone within the same two-person family?
Perhaps something like this:
clear
input site family person personal_labor_income
1 1 1 2000
1 1 2 2300
1 2 1 200
1 2 3 3000
2 10 4 3400
2 10 5 3500
end
bysort site family : gen partner_income = cond(_n ==1,
personal[_n+1],personal[_n-1])
