Early life
Homer and Marge are the same age. The two have a floating timeline, making their birth and childhood difficult to place. Homer said he was 24 years old in 1980. In the 2000s, Homer mentioned being ten years old in "the '60s or '50s, or maybe it was the early '70s". Homer and Marge were in high school anywhere from 1974 to 1999. They were also depicted as young adults in the mid to late 1990s. Marge Bouvier was born in Capital City to Clancy Bouvier, a photographer-turned-steward, and Jacqueline Bouvier. She is the youngest daughter of the Bouvier family. She has a pair of older sisters, the joyless twins, Patty and Selma, both of whom passionately disapprove of Homer Simpson. A family tree showing Marge's known family members and descendants can be seen here. Marge originally met and went on a date with Homer Simpson at Camp Land-A-Man when they were ten, though they did not realize that at the time as Homer used a different name and wore an eye patch, and Marge did not give her name and had burnt her hair so that it was brown.
Titles and Styles
H.S.H./Her Serene Highness, the Princess Consort of Springfield, Duchess of Bouvier, and Countess of Simpson.
Meeting Homer
Marge attended Springfield High School, and in her senior year, she met Homer Simpson. She was wary of Homer at first but agreed to have a study date with him, only to find out that Homer was only doing this to get her to go to prom with him. She ended up going with Artie Ziff. Artie took her home and she later picked up Homer, who she found walking home, in her car. Marge told him how much she regretted going to the prom with Artie instead of him, causing Homer to fix the strap of her dress with the corsage he got her. After that decision, her sisters showed their discontent towards him and ultimately thought he was wrong for her. In one episode, Homer and Marge got an apartment together at Springfield Place. Marge was accepted into Springfield University, with Homer paying for her tuition from his job at Simpson Laser Tag. When Homer started a grunge band called Sadgasm, the two split up and Marge began a relationship with associate professor Stefane August. Marge, not appreciating Stefane did not want to be married, and realizing she was in love with Homer, got back together with Homer. According to other episodes, however, Marge did not pursue a career or go to college because she stayed with Homer, or because her parents filed for bankruptcy after being sued for Lenny Leonard falling off the roof of Marge's house at a party Sasha Reed held. At some point, Marge, who was still in a relationship with Homer, was living with her mother and sisters again, and Homer Simpson shared an apartment with Barney Gumble. Marge has always been rather innocent and has also been said to be rather awkward in certain scenarios, especially when she is drunk. An example of this is when Marge is taking place in a magic show as a contestant and at this time, she is rather drunk, so she keeps blabbering about certain things. The magician, Diablo, finds this annoying and pulls out a ball gag and while Marge is blabbering shoves it into her mouth, so her drunken talk becomes muffled sounds. This could also link to Marge's famous voice which throughout the Simpsons has been considered annoying. Marge continues to make muffled sounds from her gagged mouth while a sack is put over her head during the magic trick.
Painting
Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager, she had an intense crush on Ringo Starr and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to Starr, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest in which her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was then hired by Mr. Burns to paint a portrait of the tycoon. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from Ringo Starr (stating that she had talent) inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the Springfield Art Museum's Burns Wing. In fact, she does show artistic prowess in other areas, such as being able to make life-size sculptures of many of her peers out of Popsicle sticks.
Cooking
Marge is also a very talented cook. She once opened up a pretzel business, but it flourished after fewer people came. She usually cooks the family's meals, but sometimes Homer cooks the family's meals, with Bart, Lisa, and Maggie sometimes cooking the meals. It is revealed in one episode, she entered a cooking contest during her high school years but made a few mistakes. She learned from them and became the family cook. Now with kids and a husband, she still demonstrates her "chef-like skills" and once made some amazingly delicious meals.
Strength
Marge also occasionally displays superhuman strength. She has been seen lifting Homer off the ground easily several times, including picking him up and throwing him through the bedroom door to show him that Moe taught her the bum's rush and swinging him around in a circle during a dance contest; she also once effortlessly tossed a motorcycle to Homer up a flight of stairs. She also knocked Snake out with a garbage can lid.
Homer Simpson
(Husband): Marge loves Homer a lot; especially after realizing that he was right for her. However, their relationship has been put through countless strains and tests in the series, such as Homer's accidental marriage with Amber and Marge's flirtation with Jacques. Homer and Marge have been divorced and remarried again a number of times. Having known Homer since high school, Marge knows his personalities and habits well. She is often frustrated by his lazy behavior and tendency to spend most of his time at the bar drinking. She is also aware of how selfish he can be. As a father, Marge knows that Homer loves their kids but is often upset at how he tends to be rather thoughtless in regards to being an actual father to them; such as hardly spending time with the kids or bothering to know their interests, using Lisa's talent to read people to win football bets, roping Bart into numerous situations, basically forgetting about Maggie on a daily basis, etc. These same flaws have extended to her as well as Marge has found herself a victim of Homer's carelessness and disrespect. During these times, Marge is not afraid to show how upset she is with Homer but often tends to settle for any type of amends he makes.
Bart Simpson
(Son): Marge acknowledges that her "special little guy" is indeed a troublemaker and attention seeker but often tries to deny or find reason behind his actions. At numerous points, she has tried to use her motherly love to keep him from being bad but has gradually come to accept that there may not be anything she can do. She has, at different points, left him to care for himself which has caused him to seek her love and attention when he realizes he needs her support or doesn't want to upset her. When this occurs, Marge usually begins babying him and the cycle will begin again. While aware of her son's destructive behavior, Marge also knows that Bart has a sensitive and caring side and is usually moved to tears when he shows genuine care and concern for someone else or when fixing a situation he either caused or escalated.
Lisa Simpson
(Older daughter): Lisa and Marge generally seem to have a good relationship. Marge often gives Lisa advice about a variety of matters. Lisa and Marge often tend to side with each other especially when it comes to Homer's, and sometimes Bart's, foolish antics. Like Bart and Homer, Lisa and Marge fight as well, mainly when they have opposing views of a topic; one example being that Marge does not fully approve of Lisa being a vegetarian and had admitted to Becky that she sneaks meat substances into Lisa's food simply because she thinks it's a phase Lisa is going through. Despite their close relationship, Marge, like Homer, fails to understand Lisa when she explains her point of view in a more intellectual manner. Although aware of the bright future that Lisa could obtain thanks to her gifts, in the episode "Lisa Simpsons, this isn't your life" Marge became incredibly hurt and confused when she learned Lisa did not want to end up in the same position as Marge when she grew up. This has been shown in a variety of different time points when Marge assumes Lisa will have a life similar to hers only to learn Lisa will try to have something far different. Marge has also shown that she tends to keep Lisa from straying too far from her, such as when Lisa developed a crush on a boy and Marge did not like Lisa spending time away from her. Lisa's gifts have also caused Marge to question why Lisa has to be different from those around her. Still, she is very proud of Lisa's good heart as she makes better choices than her father and brother.
Future
At age 45, in "Future-Drama" Marge leaves Homer after he blew the family savings on an underwater home. She then dates Krusty the Clown. Homer tries to win Marge's love back by beating him up and is beaten up himself. Marge then gets back together with Homer. "Lisa's Wedding" and "Holidays of Future Passed" depict Marge still happily married to Homer. In "Bart to the Future", Marge and Homer search for Lincoln gold in the White House where Lisa works as the president of the United States. In "Days of Future Future", which is a sequel to "Holidays of Future Passed", over the course of thirty years Homer keeps dying and being cloned by Frink back to life, but he eventually cannot be cloned anymore and is now a disembodied head on a screen. Marge kicks Homer out to live with Bart. Later in the episode when Bart and Lisa are at Moe's lamenting about their marriages, Marge is revealed to be there too, and says she married their father because when you make a decision, you stick with it. Her own advice convinces her to go back to Homer. At the end of the episode their relationship is amended, and Homer is now in a sophisticated, C-3PO-esque robot body. At the end of "Flanders' Ladder", Marge remarries Ned at some point after Homer's death and dies peacefully at the age of 84. In "The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used to Be", in the year 2022 Marge and Homer walk through a hall dedicated to her political career. Marge suggests skipping one exhibit that they come near, but Homer points out they have to pass through it to get to the building's cafeteria. They then walk through the exhibit that revealed that she was impeached and Quimby was reinstated as the Mayor of Springfield.
