How many times did Agatha Christie marry?

Agatha Christie married twice: first Archibald Christie and later Max Mallowan.

She married Royal Flying Corps officer Archibald Christie on Christmas Eve 1914, during the First World War. They had one daughter, Rosalind, born in 1919. Christie’s first marriage ended after Archibald’s affair and their divorce was finalized in 1928.

In 1930, Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan, whom she had met during a trip connected with excavations in Iraq. Their marriage lasted until Christie’s death in 1976. Her years accompanying Mallowan on archaeological expeditions influenced the settings and atmosphere of several novels, especially those involving the Middle East.

A common mix-up comes from Christie retaining the surname “Christie” professionally after her first marriage ended. She also wrote six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, but that was a pen name, not another married identity. Thus, the fair canonical answer is two.
