How did the couple meet and fell in love? Much information is not available regarding how their love story started. However, Maggie Slaymaker got married to Dan Fogelberg in 1982. The couples got married in a beautiful ceremony in the presence of their friends, family, and loved ones.

Their marriage didn’t last forever, the couple called it a quit in 1985. The reason behind their divorce was never made public. The couple were married for only three years. They didn’t have any children.

Dan Fogelberg’s love songs are also one of the best in the music industry. His song “Longer” is an excellent proof of that, and it is one of Fogelberg’s most enduring love songs. The bold sentimental ballad was written for his then-wife Maggie Slaymaker. “I was laying in a hammock on Maui, Hawaii, on vacation, in 1978, with my then-wife. All seemed right with the world. The song seemed to write itself,” the singer-songwriter said.

Dan Fogelberg “Longer,” which describes a devotion that lived “longer than there have been fishes in the ocean,” had spent two weeks at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in March 1980. It became a standard at wedding ceremonies to date, and this only proves Dan Fogelberg’s music is eternal.

Fogelberg was married three times: to Maggie Slaymaker from 1982 to 1985, to Anastasia Savage, from 1991 to 1996; and to musician Jean Marie Mayer, from 2002, until his death in 2007.
