Married 23 times

How many times would you give marriage a shot? One, 10, 20? How about 23? That's what Mrs. Linda Wolfe did. She's now 68 years old and got married for the first time at the age of 16.

She is the most married woman, setting a Guinness world record. She has married a preacher, a bartender and a one-eyed inmate. Two of her husbands were gay, 2 homeless, and her last one was the most married man in the world (29 times.)


She now says she has nothing, but she'd consider getting married again because "it gets lonely."


Is that the bottom line, why we hook up with people and stay? We're worried about spending the rest of our lives alone. How many times would you give love a chance?

  1. I would give love as many chances are necessary. As Dan Savage is fond of saying, "Every relationship you will ever be in will fail, until one doesn't."

  2. It's really the only game in town. Opting out would be depressing.
