INTERESTING! I never noticed this before, but my family did the same thing. "Blood relative", first, followed by spouse.

Same here, in regards to family, it's the blood relative first then the married into after. As far as friends go I generally say the most dominant partners name first whether the dominant partner is male or female, femme or butch, etcetcetc, it matters not who the dominant partner is.
