Do Natasha and Pierre get married in War and Peace?

Natasha Rostova and Pierre Bezukhov do get married in War and Peace.

Originally, Pierre is paired with Helene Kuragina who is only interested in his inheritance.

 

Natasha wins the love of Andrew Bolkonski, but their relationship falters after her tryst with Anatole Kuragin, so she marries Pierre.

 

Softened and matured by grief, Natasha listens to Pierre's stories (he's long been her confidant) with a new sensitivity and understanding, and she quickly reciprocates his love. They marry in 1813 and, by 1820, they have three daughters and a son together.

Biography

Natasha Rostova by Elisabeth Bohm

 

At the start of the novel in 1805, Natasha is a 13-year-old girl, the daughter of Count Ilya Rostov and Countess Natalya Rostova. She has fallen in love with young Prince Boris Drubetskoy, who lives with his mother Anna Mikhaylovna in the Rostov estate. She becomes close friends with Count Pierre Bezukhov, who frequently visits the Rostovs. When Boris leaves to pursue a career in the staff of General Mikhail Kutuzov, their friendship evaporates.

 

At her first ball, Pierre introduces her to Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. They fall in love and become engaged, but Andrei's father objects to the match. He forces Andrei to postpone the marriage for a year, during which he goes on a tour of Europe and finds a tutor for his son. A visit to Andrei's father ends in a falling-out between Natasha and Princess Maria, Andrei's sister.

 

During Andrei's absence, Prince Anatole Kuragin takes advantage of the situation by courting Natasha, even though he is already married. She succumbs to his charms and tries to elope with Kuragin. Although this is thwarted by Natasha's cousin Sonya, Natasha hastily writes to Princess Maria, breaking off the engagement.

 

After her plan to elope is ruined, Natasha attempts suicide. She is rescued by the doctor before she dies.

 

As Napoleon advances into Russia, the Rostovs are forced to evacuate their estate and retreat to their Moscow residence. When the Rostovs plan to evacuate Moscow, her parents use the carts for transportation of the wounded soldiers, and Natasha discovers that Andrei is among the wounded soldiers. She devotes all her time to nursing him.

 

After the French forces depart Moscow, Natasha again meets Andrei's sister Maria and together they nurse Andrei until he dies. They are reunited with Pierre, whose estranged wife Helene has died. Natasha and Pierre fall in love. Eventually, they marry and have four children.
