However, the couple always finds a way to make things work.
They first met in 1986 when John came to Salem with no memory of his life, perSoaps.
Marlena tried to help him recover the memories, and the two fell in love.
However, the real Roman eventually returned to Salem and things began getting messy from there.
The couple originally wed in August 1986 at Saint Luke’s Catholic Church, perSoap Hub.
At the time John was thought to be Marlena’s former husband Roman Brady (viaSoaps).
The pair lived as man and wife until Marlena was presumed dead in a plane crash, perSoap Central.
During that time, she was actually being held captive on a remote island.
When she finally returned to Salem, she reunited with John, who still believed himself to be Roman.
Marlena and John set off to find her captors, and in the process they found the real Roman.
However, that wasn’t the end of their epic love story.
John and Marlena married again in 1999
However, the couple’s happiness wouldn’t last.
However, it was later revealed that Hope’s husband, Bo Brady, was JT’s real father.
Marlena Evans was revealed to be a serial killer nicknamed The Salem Stalker.
However, Marlena didn’t actually kill any of her so-called victims.
While Kate and John were getting intimate, so were Roman and Marlena.
When the pair returned to Salem it was revealed that Marlena was pregnant with Roman’s baby.
Sadly, Marlena suffered a miscarriage after falling down the stairs and awoke with amnesia.
They had once been married, and he had been Marlena’s first husband, who was presumed dead.
Marlena was torn between John and Alex but decided to reunite with her first husband.
John later exposed Alex as a fraud, and the doctor was killed when he fell off a cliff.
Marlena’s marriage to Alex made all of her other marriages void.
So she and John decided to get remarried in March 2002, perSoaps.
They pair were happy to finally be officially wed after years of confusion and drama.
However, their dream wedding didn’t go off without a hitch.
Sadly, Marlena was shot and sent into a coma (viaSoaps in Depth).
Once she awoke, Marlena and John finally walked down the aisle in November 2018, perSoaps.
They are now living happily as husband and wife.
