Yes, Theban Queen Jocasta is married to Theban King Oedipus. It's her second marriage. Her first marriage ends with the death of her husband, Theban King Laius. She seems to be happy in her second marriage. But the couple's happiness ultimately is shattered with the revelation that wife and husband are also mother and son.
