In 1875 at the age of 40 Saint-Saens married 19-year-old Marie-Laure Truffot. The marriage lasted about 6 years only and they separated but never divorced. He didn't re-marry.
He blamed his wife for the death of their two sons, André and Jean-François, in 1878 who died within six weeks of each other, one from illness the other by falling from a fourth floor window.
