They married on June 17, 1978, blending their lives and their families - Marianne being one of ten siblings. Together they raised three children: Brian (born August 7, 1979), Anthony (born September 28, 1982), and Lisa (born June 17, 1986).

Zygmund remained busy, balancing work, family, and soccer. Zig was able to find time to show his children his passion for fishing. He often spent weekends traveling to fishing tournaments, waking up early to catch the big one, and instilling that same passion in his children.
