Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Aragon, married Isabella, heir to the throne of Castille, in 1469. When she ascended to the throne in 1474 as Isabella I, and he to the throne of Aragon as Ferdinand II in 1479, they jointly ruled the lands which constituted the political state known as España (Spain).

In a strictly territorial sense, yes. Her country Castile was simply far bigger than Ferdinand's Aragon. But at the time, neither of them ruled "Spain": Ferdinand ruled over Aragon, Isabella over Castile. The usual male domination did not apply in this marriage and this equality was even laid down in their prenuptial agreement. Isabella was an able ruler, a shrewd politician and negotiator and she had a mind of her own. Ferdinand much admired her capabilities.
There was not a king and queen of Spain in 1495. Ferdinand II ruled Aragon and co-ruled Leon and Castile with Queen Isabel I. Isabel I was Queen of Castile and Leon and co-ruled Aragon with Ferdinand. They ruled those three kingdoms together but were only the Monarchs of their own kingdom(s). Consequently they were not the monarchs of Spain. Nor were their children. Spain was only unified when all three kingdoms were inherited by their grandson Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1516. At that point it became one kingdom
