You can use
with
when deploying
marry
figuratively to mean
combine
:
"a rich chocolate sauce married with cherry liqueur and a sprinkling of crushed almonds"
"general fiscal prudence married with awareness of the volatility of emerging markets"
In these cases,
to
would be incorrect. Neither of these uses is at all common, and I wouldn't teach them to students except at the very highest level.
