There is not difference in the language of aunts and uncles when it comes to marriage relationship.  I have a Aunt Marge, which married my Uncle Jay, my mother's brother.  What get difficult is, if you get divorced, are your ex's aunts and uncles still your aunts and uncles as when you were married (20 yrs) ?  You divorce your ex, not their family.
