Ted and Robin are at the beginning of their romantic relationship and Ted cannot be happier. Marshall, on the hand, cannot get over his break-up with Lily despite he giving her the ultimatum of him or the summer long art fellowship in San Francisco.

He wants to call and talk to her, but Ted tries to convince him that that is not the right thing to do. Ted and Barney try unsuccessfully to get Marshall out of his deep depression, but it's Robin who provides at least a short reprieve from that depression. However, Barney gives Marshall the idea that he can follow Lily's whereabouts by tracking her credit card use, Barney not actually realizing that Marshall has her on-line account password. When there is evidence from her recent hotel room purchase that Lily is back in New York, Marshall, still hurt that she didn't at least try to contact him first, has to decide if he will try and make contact with her at the hotel.

Lily is happy with Marshall, but a pregnancy scare and the opportunity of an art program in San Francisco have her questioning her choices.

In the end, Lily breaks up with Marshall to head to San Francisco and pursue her artistic dreams, leaving him absolutely heartbroken. Season 2 sees a whole lot happen for Marshall and Lily, as they start it entirely separated and end it married!

At the beginning of the season, Lily is gone, and Marshall is struggling to adjust to life without her. However, she soon returns, and they go back and forth for a little while - Lily wants to reunite, Marshall is still too hurt and wants to date, but after one date with someone else, they end up back together.

They are quickly re-engaged, and the end of the season is their wedding day, which is a sweet moment that cements their relationship for the rest of the show. For most of season 3, Lily and Marshall are happily married, and enjoying their time together. For the most part, they are an uncomplicated and happy couple, so most of their storylines involve the rest of the group, rather than conflict or drama between the two of them.

They do have one major life milestone in this season, though: home ownership. Marshall graduates from law school and takes a job as a corporate lawyer, Lily comes clean about her money issues, and they manage to buy an apartment.

Sadly, it's a terrible apartment, that has crooked floors and is downwind of a sewage treatment plant, though, so it's unlikely to be their forever home. By season 4, Marshall and Lily are still going strong, and their next relationship milestone is likely to be children.

However, when they talk about it in 'Not A Father's Day', they decide that they aren't quite ready to take that step yet. The rest of the season, then, sees their relationship continue to grow and mature with them as Marshall says. It doesn't change that much, though, as the heartwarming 'Three Days of Snow' they realize that they don't want the relationship to change too much, and that they love all their silly and cute traditions.

Finally arriving two nights before the wedding, the couple puts their argument on pause so that they can enjoy their reunion. The fight eventually occurs later that night, with Lily accusing Marshall of making the most selfish decision that either of them has ever made, and Marshall reminding Lily that she left him for San Francisco eight years prior.

Lily left the fight, going to The Captains home on Long Island where she secretly took a pregnancy test and discovered she's pregnant with their second child - something she had suspected days earlier when she was on the train to Long Island from Manhattan and experienced morning sickness.

With the revelation of the news, Marshall realizes the judgeship can wait and that Lily deserves to live her dream of going to Rome and working with art because she's giving him his dream of being a father again. Following the Barney and Robin's wedding, Marshall and Lily move to Rome for a year where Lily's father Mickey and Marshall's mother Judy also come along and the family enjoys their time in Italy. They later return to New York where Marshall has to restart his law career in the corporate sector, and the couple have their third child.

Outgrowing their apartment in Manhattan, the couple decide to purchase a house to fit their growing family. Eventually he's offered another judgeship in Queens, and accepts the position. In , Marshall runs for the New York State Supreme Court, which he wins over his friend Brad, the former losing his hair in the process.

Their relationship includes roleplaying games, such as Marshall dressed as Fay Wray and tied to his bed while Lily enters dressed as "Queen Kong". They also roleplay Lily being a prostitute; when Marshall comments that Lily should 'sell your stuff' meaning her artwork she replies "Baby that's just a game we play in the bedroom".
