In 1964 she married a mortal named Darrin Stephens, who wanted to live a normal mortal life, so she and Darrin made an agreement that she would not use witchcraft unless it was absolutely necessary.

In 1965 Samantha gave birth to a daughter named Tabitha who inherited Samantha's magic powers, including twitching her nose. No matter how much Samantha and Darrin tried to teach Tabitha not to use witchcraft, the little witch is always playing innocent magical games, encouraged by Endora.

In 1970 Samantha gave birth to a boy named Adam who, like his sister, inherited their mother's magic powers. Like his sister, he was encouraged to use witchcraft by Endora, much to the dismay of Samantha and Darrin. Adam became a mortal then a warlock later in his life.
