Hola Paul,
It depends on what exactly you want to say. To say what relationship you have with someone we use "ser" as explained in the lesson, "Ella es mi esposa", "Manuel es mi primo"...
But to say for example you are married to someone you'd say:
"Estoy casado con María"
Here is a different lesson that will clarify it for you:
Have a look here.
Saludos
