Woman Married Eleven Times Gives Advice To Couples Thinking About Marriage

When it comes to marriage, Bonnie Ashley has it down. In fact, lately she’s been giving advice to people who are considering a walk down the aisle. Few people in the world are better prepared to give advice about marriage than Ashley. She’s married (and divorced) eleven times.

Ashley, 53, has written a book called Ex-Husband In Freezer about her experiences with marriage. Her best advice: Don’t jump into marriage. She should know. Ashley married two of her ex-husbands three times each.

Ashley has been married eleven times to seven different men. She married her first husband to escape her father, whom Ashley describes as a domineering, dictatorial minister, and things went downhill from there. Among the first ten years of her marriages, Ashley also had a long-standing affair with a man she truly wanted to be with.

She’s currently unmarried, having made peace with herself after divorce number three from Husband Number Seven. Her book was written with the understanding that none of their real names would be used. One of her ex-husbands pitched in to edit the manuscript, which Ashley self-published.

Ashley has no children and receives no alimony from any of her husbands. She works as a real estate agent in Delaware, in the United States, and since publishing her book, has been in high demand for radio and television interviews. She’s also in talks to bring the book to the big screen.

Ashley says that she hopes her book helps people to avoid the same mistake she’s made when it comes to marriage. She advises people to wait to marry, and take time to get to know their prospective spouses before talking about marriage. According to Ashley, “Live with people if you have to, and try on the shoe before you buy it.”

Ashley says she is not in a relationship right now, after passing on the opportunity to take on Husband Number Eight. She says she’s just learning how to enjoy life being single.
