Answer

to be no match for someone or something means to be less powerful or effective than someone or something else.

Ex: West Bromwich Albion were no match for Manchester United yesterday, seen as they lost 2-0.

These expressions would never really be used in relation to relationships or marriages. These expressions would be more likely to used to do with sports or fights.

Answer

Them is plural meaning more than one.
So if there was more than one person involved you would say:
I am no match for them.
