'one' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'parting hurt such a relationship' is the wordplay.
'parting' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters split or part another word).
'hurt' becomes 'marred' (mar can mean to hurt or damage).
'such a relationship' becomes 'i' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'marred' placed around 'i' is 'MARRIED'.

(Other definitions for married that I've seen before include "Admirer (anag)" , "United, wed" , "Wedded" , "9 across (anag)" , "Hitched" .)
