I have a need to create a relationship between two Individuals when a specific Activity is created.

The Activity is "Marriage" the relationship should be created as "Spouse Of".

When I create the Activity I enter both Individuals in the With Contact field. The start date of the relationship should be the date of the Activity.

I'm not a programmer by trade but can usually piece things together in a pinch. Wondering if someone could give me some direction on how to proceed or if someone has some code that would do this with a little editing?

Thanks

Thanks Eileen. That got me started. Sorry I forgot to say but yes I am using Drupal 6.x and CiviCRM 3.2

I used FatherShawn's civi relate code (at least part of it) to start from. The code below is where I'm at. Could anyone help?
