I doubt they'll try and screw with marriages and such, mostly because it brings up too much of a social issue if they screw up somewhere, and people start raging because of it. It's best to think it the American way (I guess?) - love is free, and people marry as a mark of true love, but they sometimes do grow adrift because of reasons. Since this is a kid friendly show, I doubt Ruby and Yang's parents are well, the way they are because of a divorce (hopefully, I mean if Yang's mum is anything like Yang then, as in explosive then well...).

The order of things is probably like this:

1) Yang's father and mother got married. Gave birth to Yang.

2) Yang's father goes missing and is assumed KIA. He has in fact survived and met Summer Rose, OR, Yang's father and mother had a huge argument and got divorced with each other. OR, Yang's mother died young.

3) At any rate, Yang's father met with Summer Rose afterwards, and they gave birth to Ruby Rose. Since we know Summer died, and that it is a fact that Ruby's father is still alive (unless I recall incorrectly, I remember Ruby saying in Episode 1, 'Ugh, you sound like dad' or something similar), he or Qrow are the ones who brought the two sisters together.
