Marital Status: Married to The Source of All Evil, formally known as Cole.

Life as Phoebe Halliwell: When we first met Phoebe, her life was in a state of flux. She had recently returned from a stint in New York to face her two older sisters.

Eldest sister Prue was especially disapproving of Phoebe. There were many reasons for this, not the least of which was Phoebe being caught in a compromising position with Prue's then fiance Roger.

Phoebe tried several jobs (receptionist at Prues office and at a real estate office, and a Psychic at a hotel) before deciding to go back to College. More than anything else though, witchcraft gave Phoebe a purpose in her life.

Phoebe has always been a risk taker and was evil in at least one past life. She has a dark side that Prue and Piper seemed to lack.

We shouldn't have been surprised then when Phoebe fell in love with Cole Turner. To say he has a dark side is an understatement. When Cole was discovered to be a demon (Belthazor), Phoebe spared his life and lied to her sisters.

After some time apart, Cole and Phoebe reunited, and though there have been rough spots, are still together.

The beginning of Season 4 shows us Phoebe in a whole new light. Struggling to come to terms with the loss of Prue and the lsudden indrocution to a new sister has been hard--but not impossible for Phoebe. She is finding herself in the same position Piper had been in for most of Phoebe's life. As the buffer between the ultra responsible eldest sister (Piper), and the rebellous youngest sister (Paige).

If that wasn't enough, Cole is being hunted more than ever now. This tends to put a damper on romance.
