"The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or by smiling into your eyes- or just by staring into space."

Marilyn Monroe's first marriage was to James Dougherty in 1942-1946. They began dating when Marilyn was just 15 and James was 20. She dropped out of the University of High School West Los Angeles to marry James at the young age of 16. James had many successful careers. Before marriage, he had a stable job working at an aircraft industry. He served as a navy seal then became a police detective. While he was overseas, Marilyn worked on the island around him where she was first approached by a photographer. From here on, her career increased in success. After the marriage came to an end, Marilyn confessed that they were never really in love, while James admitted the young couple had truly been in love. Leaving her first husband on the pursuit of happiness inspired many women who felt like they were trapped in a relationship due to time together. She found a career to pursue which he didn't approve, but chose which ever one made her happy.

Her second marriage was to Joe DiMaggio. On January 15, 1954 the couple married at San Francisco City Hall. The newly wedded couple was published all over the media because of there fame and accomplishments throughout their lifetime. They started off rough, which went down from there. Marilyn had a choice to go on her honeymoon to Japan with Joe or to sing for the soldiers about to be deployed. She chose the soldiers, which left Joe unhappy. The last event that ended it all was Joe observing Marilyn being photographed standing over a subway grate with air blowing up her skirt. The beautiful blonde drew attention and had dozens of men standing around in awe of her radiating beauty. Joe filed a divorce October, 1954 only 274 days after the wedding. She later told the press that her husband was of "mental cruelty". After Marilyn had passed, Joe was the one to arrange her funeral and sent flowers to her grave several times a week until 1999 when he had passed.
