Introduction

Skyrim is a world of adventure, magic, and dragons, but it is also a world of love and marriage.

As you traverse the land of Skyrim, you will encounter many potential partners, each with their own personality, preferences, and interests. In this article, we will explore who you can marry in Skyrim, as well as the requirements, strategies, benefits, and drawbacks of marriage in the game.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Marriage in Skyrim: A Comprehensive Guide for Players

To get married in Skyrim, you must meet certain requirements and complete a series of steps. First, you must complete the quest “The Bonds of Matrimony,” which is initiated by speaking to Maramal, a priest of Mara, in Riften. This quest requires you to wear the Amulet of Mara, which can be purchased from Maramal for 200 gold. Once you have completed the quest, you can propose to an eligible character.

However, not all characters are available for marriage. To be eligible for marriage, a character must meet the following criteria:

• They must be of the opposite gender (or, in some cases, the same gender if you have installed certain mods)
• They must not be a relative or enemy
• They must not be a follower
• They must not be a child

Once you have found an eligible character whom you wish to marry, speak to them and complete their related quest, if any. Then, speak to them again while wearing the Amulet of Mara and choose the dialogue option that says “Interested in me, are you?” to begin courting them. Once your relationship level is high enough, you can propose and, if accepted, hold a wedding ceremony.

After getting married, your spouse will move into your house, which you can purchase in most cities, or a custom home, if you have built one. Your spouse will also offer you certain benefits, such as the ability to cook meals, give you gifts, and even run a store. However, marriage also comes with certain drawbacks, such as your spouse sometimes nagging you, arguing with you, or getting angry at you.
