Uneasy pose employed when married (8)
I believe the answer is:
espoused
'married' is the definition.
('espouse' can be a synonym of 'marry')
'uneasy pose employed' is the wordplay.
'uneasy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'employed' becomes 'used' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employ').
'pose' anagrammed gives 'espo'.
'espo'+'used'='ESPOUSED'
'when' is the link.
(Other definitions for espoused that I've seen before include "Advocated" , "Adopted, as of a cause" , "Gave one's support to" , "Championed or took up cause" , "embraced" .)
