Canon
Homer and Marge first met as ten years olds at a summer camp. They secretly met and shared their first kiss. The couple agreed to meet again, but after Homer accidently got drafted into fat camp, Marge believed she had been ghosted.
Years later, the two met again at senior high school. Homer instantly fell for her and, while she was originally uninterested after a bad date with Artie Ziff, she ended up dating him. In their early 20s Homer worked so Marge could go to college, where she met and fell for her professor, Stefane August. Marge decided to leave Homer for Professor August but ended up regretting it as she found that he was quite rude and didn't want to marry her.
In the meantime, Homer became a star with his band The Be Sharps[1] but also became depressed despite his success because he missed Marge. When he was at his lowest, she returned to his life.
In their late 20s Marge became pregnant with Bart Simpson and they decided to get married. They had two more kids, Lisa and Maggie, in later years.
The couple has a tumultuous marriage and nearly broke up several times although in the end, their love always prevails.
