Oh man, i highly suggest reading everything you can find on battery safety. You bought a good charger and batteries, so dont worry about that. Marrying batteries basically means they need to do everything together. They must charge together and discharge together. Once you use a married battery in a single 18650 mod, whether it be a regulated or mech mod, they are no longer married and cant become remarried. Mark them, something simple like writing a number or letter on them to make sure you know they are married at a quick glance. Marrying batteries ensures they "age" together if you will. They will have the same number of charging and discharging cycles on them, making sure one isnt stressed more than the other. Im not the person to give you the most indepth explanation so please read everything you can find on this subject and battery safety in general.

You'll need more than just two batteries. Personally I'd go with three pairs.

One pair in use, another pair charging, and a charged pair "resting" for future use. Using three pairs in rotation in this way will extend the overall life of the batteries.
Okay. I ordered one pair to start. Is a 25r a good choice? And did you see the question above?

Yes, Samsung 25R is a good battery; I use them myself. And yes, I saw your question above, and still recommend six batteries (four at a bare minimum).

0.25 ohm coils will drain a pair of batteries rather quickly at high wattage. You can't vape while your batteries are charging, right? Batteries need a rest period of several hours after a full charge before using them. Read the blogs.

What's the reason for them having to sit after a full charge

You didn't read my blog either...

This is a recommendation by our forum administrator and battery expert, Rolygate. Battery University also hints that this is a good practice.

"Rest batteries after charging
One commonly-reported factor in almost all the incidents we hear of where batteries failed violently while in use is that they were taken directly off the charger and then used immediately, at which point they failed.

Because of this, we think it may be a good idea to rest batteries after charging them. This advice will not be found in the usual 'reference bibles' on batteries, but we see more and different reports than others. Therefore we now advise:

Do not use batteries directly after charging them. Use a battery or batteries you previously charged, and that have rested for several hours. This is especially important if using a stacked pair for higher voltage, as statistically the risk is far higher."
