Feynman married Mary Louise Bell in 1952 and divorced quickly afterwards. Feyman divorced at a time when divorce was frowned upon. His wife complained to the divorce judge: "He begins working calculus problems in his head as soon as he awakens. He did calculus while driving, while sitting in the living room and while lying in bed at night."<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/may/15/quantum-man-richard-feynman-review</ref>

Feynman married three times.  His wed his first wife, Arlene Greenbaum, while studying for his PhD.  It was a sadly foreshortened marriage: she had tuberculosis and he devoted himself to her during her illness.
