Read Spouses of a Person

This example request illustrates how to read the spouses of a person. Note that for the FamilySearch Family Tree, the spouses list doesn't necessarily contain a couple relationship for every spouse. Persons who share a child-and-parents relationship as a parent will also be included in the list of spouses.
