i ran into a case of this lately booking SMF-LAX-DEN-LNK which was all one ticket (married segments) but RT search would not pull it up, instead offering me only more expensive one stop options. had to get at it with multicity/hipmunk.
I think you're using "married segments" a little outside its normal context. It's usually used to describe the situation where the airline provides different availability numbers than the segment-by-segment numbers. But maybe that's what you were saying? Otherwise, I think that you're just talking about "legal transfers" within a fare rather than needing to talk about "married segments."

In any case, United.com does it's best to avoid showing you two-stop itins, even when they're cheaper.
