So what do you think came first - the use of the term to refer to a couple or the use of the term in reference to relationships such as married to his job or two items married together? |

Not where I was expecting this to start off. I thought there was going to be a Las Vegas story here. |

Like shuyung I'm was expecting something else. I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed. However the answer to your question is A. |

My guess is married refers to couples and the other way to use the word evolved. |
