I've been pooping about 10-12 times a day. I thought it was normal until I consulted a close friend. The time on the pot has allowed me to read through a number of books lately but I'm kind of getting tired of it, and I'm running a high water bill. Could this be because I recently got married? Please help!?!

Having a BM of 10-12 times a day is excessive. By sitting on the pot too long, you might develop dehydration, hemorrhoids, anal fistula and fissure aside from having to contend with complaints from your bride for your affinity to the pot. You should check your diet. You might have to cut back on the fiber. And eat more bulk-forming foods.
Definitely, 1-3 times a day is normal. Becoming married is not one of the causes unless you have an anxiety disorder and this is aggravated by marriage. Frequent diarrhea might be indicative of Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS, Diverticulosis and even some Liver Malfunction and biliary obstruction.
Regarding the diarrhea, there are a variety of causes - including malabsorption, infection, irritable bowel disease, or inflammatory bowel disease or colitis; gastroenteritis, ulcers, . Regarding malabsorption, you can evaluate for fat malabsorption with a stool fecal fat test or blood test for celiac disease. Tests for carbohydrate malabsorption rely upon the fermentation of undigested carbohydrates by intestinal bacteria, or direct measurement of the absorption of specific nutrients after a test dose.
You can consider also obtaining a lower endoscopy (either flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) for further evaluation of the diseases mentioned above. You can also obtain basic stool tests, looking for infection - specifically C Difficile (a bacteria associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea).

I think that you may need to see a doctor as that is far too much to go to the toilet for a "Number 2". You may suffer from a stomach disease such as irritable bowl syndrome or maybe chrones (*sp). You should normally be going to the toilet 1/2/3 times a day.
either of thes problems can be sorted out, don't worry.
I don't think that it has anything to do with you getting married.
