Look at the FAQ's which say "It is not possible to link up someone who appears twice in your tree, for example, brothers and sisters who married each other, or cousins who got married in your tree. You will have to enter that person twice." Commercial programs such as FTM will allow you to create multiple connections but in order to do so are relatively sophisticated relationship databases. The GR tree, on the other hand offers basic facilities only.
