==Personal life== Martie married [[pharmaceutical]] [[sales representative|representative]] Ted Seidel on June 17, 1995, and changed her last name to Seidel. She also was stepmother to his son. However, her marriage did not last, and she and Ted Seidel were divorced in November 1999.<ref name="Ladies Home Journal"/> At bandmate [[Natalie Maines]]' sister Kim's wedding, Martie met Gareth Maguire, a [[Roman Catholic]] teacher and actor from [[Carnlough]], [[Northern Ireland]]. The couple became engaged in June 2001 and married on August 10, 2001, in a civil ceremony in Hawaii; as explained at one of their concerts, the Dixie Chicks' song "[[White Trash Wedding]]" is based on Martie's relationship with Gareth.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/EshGQDYBKyE Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150110122700/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshGQDYBKyE Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshGQDYBKyE |title=An evening with The Dixie Chicks - White Trash Wedding |publisher=YouTube |date=2008-11-25 |access-date=2014-07-15}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Later they had a Catholic "blessing" ceremony in the groom's hometown, [[Carnlough]] in [[County Antrim]], [[Northern Ireland]], on March 9, 2002, for all the guests that were not able to attend the first wedding. Martie said of the ceremony that the [[Catholic Church]] would not permit a wedding service due to her prior divorce. Martie said that there were many "special" people that they had wanted to include, but that they just could not wait to marry.<ref name="CMT Online">CMT Online [http://www.cmt.com/artists/news/1449170/09252001/dixie_chicks.jhtml CMT Online (Retrieved 25 September, 2005)] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212233741/http://www.cmt.com/artists/news/1449170/09252001/dixie_chicks.jhtml |date=February 12, 2009 }}</ref> Another reason for the rush was Gareth's need to keep flying back and forth between the United States and Ireland because of visa considerations.<ref name="Minchin">Minchin III, James R. and Lieberman, Ellen InStyle Magazine; February 2003, Vol. 10 Issue 2, pg. 244 Retrieved September 25, 2005</ref> After her second marriage, Martie changed her name to that of her new husband, which is why in her musical career she has been credited by all three of her [[surnames]]: Erwin, Seidel, and Maguire.

In an interview in ''[[Conceive (magazine)|Conceive]]'', she said, "All my paperwork said 'unspecified origin.' We spent three years of active trying before we went to IVF. First I went on [[Clomid]]. Then I had some dye tests and found I had a collapsed tube, so I had [[laparoscopic surgery]]; the tube wasn't blocked, just spasming." After three attempts at [[intrauterine insemination]], she said, she and her husband didn't think it was worth continuing in that manner, and switched to [[IVF]].<ref name="common1">{{cite web|url=http://www.conceiveonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&Itemid=22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206171500/http://www.conceiveonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&Itemid=22 |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 6, 2009 |title=The Dixie Chicks: Taking the Long Way ... to Motherhood |last=Weinhouse |first=Beth |date=Fall 2007 |publisher=Conceive Magazine Online |access-date=2008-07-27 }}</ref> In August 2007, Martie began IVF again, resulting in their third daughter. In 2008, regarding the number of children the Dixie Chicks had produced in the past seven years (Maines had two; Emily had four in addition to Martie's twins and newborn), Martie told ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' "We'll have to move over and let the little chicks take over! We've got a new band!"<ref name="People">''People Magazine'' (accessed January 28, 2008) [http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20174066,00.html Dixie Chick Martie Maguire Is Expecting] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914183801/http://www.people.com/people/article/0%2C%2C20174066%2C00.html |date=September 14, 2016 }}</ref> Martie and Emily co-wrote a song, "So Hard", about their own personal experiences with infertility and their need to rely on other methods to conceive. They speak out about the difficulties they faced, but also their good fortune; both having options that for many women are financially prohibitive. Mentioning the [[social stigma|stigma]] attached to IVF, Martie said, "I think we feel a responsibility to break down some barriers. It's much more of a common problem than people realize."<ref name="FrontpagePublicity">Frontpage Publicity [http://www.frontpagepublicity.com/dxc/bio.html Dixie Chicks Website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017015925/http://www.frontpagepublicity.com/dxc/bio.html |date=October 17, 2015 }}</ref> A final concern Martie mentioned was the question of what to do with all the unused frozen [[embryos]].<blockquote>Now that I have children, I see those embryos as possible children. So I have to think about what my options are if there are leftovers again. I could keep them in storage, and maybe they will help my children some day. Or I can try to donate them to [[stem cell research]]. I don't think I could give them to another family. I would always worry: what if it's an abusive family? What if they don't get enough love?<ref name="common1"/>{{dead link|date=April 2014}}</blockquote> Natalie Maines has noted that she and Martie learned [[Transcendental Meditation technique|Transcendental Meditation]] in the mid-1990s.<ref>{{cite web|last=Willman|first=Chris|title=Dixie Chicks, Russell Simmons Meditate on Rick Rubin's Greatness at David Lynch Foundation Event|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=February 28, 2014 |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dixie-chicks-russell-simmons-meditate-684492|access-date=April 27, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304083118/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dixie-chicks-russell-simmons-meditate-684492|archive-date=March 4, 2014|url-status=live|quote=Maines is a TM-er, it turns out.
