At age 18, on 28 September 1765 in Dessau, she married Count Simon August (1727–1782) of Lippe-Detmold. In her letters to her sisters, she complained about being homesick, so her sisters decided to follow her to Detmold. She personally oversaw the modernizing of the princely residence Detmold Castle and the Court at Lemgo.
She died on 15 April 1769, only four years after her marriage. Later that year, Simon August married her sister Casimire.
From her marriage with Simon August, Marie Leopoldine had one son:
Leopold I (1767–1802), Prince of Lippe-Detmold, married in 1796 princess Pauline Christine of Anhalt-Bernburg (1769–1820)
In 1908 her remains were moved with her sister to Buchenburg
