Both mark Antony and Octavian were men. They did not marry each other. They became allies.
Octavian fought against Mark Antony at the battle of Mutina (in northern Italy) in 43 BC and helped to defeat him. Cicero had played the two men against each other and had made Octavian as a senator. Octavian fought for the senate. However the senate gave more rewards to another man, Decimus Brutus, for the defeat of Mark Antony, and tried to give the former the command of the consular legions. As a result Octavian refused to fight Mark Antony any further and demanded to be given the vacant office of consul and that that Mark Antony should be declared no longer an enemy of the state. When the senate refused, he marched on Rome with eight legions. He made himself be selected as consul. Meanwhile, Mark Antony allied with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, a leading former supporter of Caesar. At this point Octavian decided to join the alliance, which become what historians call the Second triumvirate (a three-man alliance).

Yes, Antony was married to Octavia. In fact, he remained married to her until 32 BC, five years after he was supposed to have married Cleopatra.
