When cousins marry, how can the tree show this?

I have that situation in my tree. Two sisters married two different men, their offspring married (my grandfather and grandmother). I have only been able to trace the family back through one of the sisters.

Mind you, might expain why I'm a bit dippy..........

dad's sister shared mother with my father (different father's)

dad's brother shared father with my father (different mother's)
