The new dialogue is unlocked with certain characters if the Dragonborn is both wearing the amulet and has met the requirement relating to the individual, usually a quest. The Dragonborn tin so limited their wish to marry the person. Once that is done, they can speak to Maramal at the Temple of Mara nigh arranging the nuptials.

Nuptials anniversary

The ceremony will starting time no sooner than approximately 24 hours. one of the easiest means to make time motion faster is to rent a room at the bee and the barb and sleep there for 24 hours. Maramal alludes to the ceremony time existence constrained between dawn and sunset; however, the ceremony can happen at any given hour of the day. During the ceremony, the Dragonborn has ane concluding hazard to affirm the matrimony before the ceremony gain. Upon accepting the marriage, Maramal makes the marriage official and gives the Dragonborn The Bail of Matrimony.

Characters for whom quests accept previously been completed or other characters who disposition is positive may appear at the nuptials ceremony equally guests. If the Dragonborn already owns any houses, and so the corresponding housecarl(south) may also be present.

If the Dragonborn misses their wedding ceremony anniversary, they can approach the intended partner and enquire for another risk. Maramal volition then agree to host another ceremony, the next day.

Married life

If the spouse owns property, that will be presented as an option; the Dragonborn may also select any of the house(due south) they currently ain. The selection need not be permanent; relocation to any of the available homes is bachelor at any fourth dimension by initiating the appropriate dialogue with the spouse.

If the spouse is the Dragonborn's housecarl, "their business firm" is the applicable house of the Dragonborn that they are responsible for.

Once married, the behavior of the spouse changes. Most notably, the tone of voice and behavior changes and they will often refer to the Dragonborn as "love" or "dear" from that betoken on. Even so, if the Dragonborn marries 1 of their housecarls, the Dragonborn will still be referred to as "my Thane" using subordinate dialogue.

If the Dragonborn's spouse relocates to a dissimilar city from where they originated to alive in one of the Dragonborn's houses, they may indicate that they wish to become a shop owner to keep occupied while the Dragonborn is out adventuring.

Once a day, the Dragonborn can ask their spouse to cook something. The spouse will make a homemade repast, which increases the regeneration of Magicka, Health, and Stamina.

If the Dragonborn sleeps in the firm with the spouse, the Dragonborn will receive a temporary bonus called "Lover's Comfort," that boosts the rate of skill-learning by fifteen% for 8 hours. However, this bonus cannot be obtained if the Lover Rock is activated (a workaround tin be used with the Aetherial Crown), or if the Blood Ritual has been taken to become a Werewolf.

If the Official Plug-in Hearthfire is installed, marriage tin also include children. The Dragonborn's adopted child will too be adopted by the spouse, equally well as instantly motility into the house where the Dragonborn'south new son or daughter is living. This adds another dialogue selection with the spouse allowing the Dragonborn to ask how the children are; it also adds generic dialogue to the child, where an activity volition exist mentioned that they both did together.

Note: Because spouses act equally vendors, the Dragonborn tin can buy and sell items from them. However, if the spouse is a follower and asked to follow the Dragonborn, the spouse will simply sell items from their inventory until they function ways.

Forcing wedlock PC

The marriage dialog selection tin be forced to appear on characters by opening the panel, targeting the desired graphic symbol, and typing the control "addfac 19809 1." This could possibly crusade issues with characters who were non originally intended to have this option.

A friendship must take been started with the character in the form of a quest, as their disposition (which is a hidden stat) needs to be of a sure level in society for them to recognize the Amulet of Mara. Alternatively the control "setrelationshiprank player 4" can be used after adding the person to the union faction. It is not possible to marry several of the people in the game, such equally Ulfric Stormcloak.

Forced marriages ofttimes work improve on characters that share a vocalization thespian with a marriageable graphic symbol, because marriage dialogue is universal for a lot of characters.
If the Dragonborn marries a Jarl with the setrelationshiprank command, they can immediately buy a firm from said Jarl too. Note that these commands may cause buggy behavior when trying to get Thane of a Hold. Nonetheless, a do good of marrying an important graphic symbol, such as a trainer at the College of Winterhold, is that one tin choose to live with their spouse in the formal residence, since taking an detail while i lives in that location does not count equally stealing.

Divorce PC

Trying to breakdown with partners is incommunicable without the console commands. Searching for assistance "breakup" 4 will bring upwardly dialogue and quests that show reference to what most likely was the original intention of breaking upwardly with a spouse.

Option one

The relationshipbreakup quest can be used. PC Use the console to enter these commands:

completequest 0007431B
resetquest 0007431B
resetquest 00021382

(This is just formality to reset the "spousal relationship" quest.) The in a higher place will foreclose the Dragonborn from having to kill their spouse, although they will annotate on how much fifty-fifty the thought of them makes their blood boil. Untested, merely possibly setrelationshiprank player four can fix this.

Choice two

The spouse must be killed
The console control Setstage RelationshipMarriage 10 must then be used
The panel commands resurrect should side by side exist used on the ex-spouse (and eventually the command setrelationshiprank player 4 on him/her to keep the relationship status obtained with the character related quests)
The former Amulet of Mara doesn't need to be dropped or sold.

Choice three

The Amulet of Mara necklace must be retained, or another ane must be institute.
Whatever wanted items should exist taken from the current spouse before starting this procedure.
The following commands must exist used, after targeting the spouse:
- removefac 51596
- player.removefac C6472
- resetquest 74793
- resetquest 21382
- setstage 74793 10
The one-time spouse volition immediately get out the house and return to their regular location.
24 hours must be waited.

Trivia

PC To modify the clothes of the partner, the console command equipitem tin can exist used on them (e.g. equipitem 000d191f 1 for the Tavern Clothes). The panel command removeitem <base_id> one tin be used to remove items like a pickaxe (000E3C16), or clothes specifically. Be mindful that all Characters (including followers) come with a fix of standard clothing that are tagged as their 'outfit'. Fifty-fifty when removing these dress through the panel, the grapheme will attempt to put on the standard outfit when non following the Dragonborn, which tin can event in them beingness randomly nude while not following the Dragonborn (e.thousand.: waiting at their house, walking in the urban center).
The Dragonborn tin as well modify their spouse's dress on consoles if they are a follower by equipping them with items of amend armor value and ownership their normally-worn items in their shops; still, when not post-obit they might exist wandering in their underwear.
The Dragonborn tin kill their spouse by sacrificing them to Boethiah during the quest "Boethiah's Calling."
If a spouse is killed, remarriage is non possible without the use of panel commands.
There is a number of potential marriage options cut from the game that still take related (but disabled) data included in the game files. Amidst those characters who were cut are Vivienne Onis, Ingun Blackness-Briar, and Elisif the Fair.
The Dunmer of Raven Stone cannot be married via console commands. The Nords of Skaal Hamlet tin can be married this way, merely are bugged (and thus may not exit Solstheim).
Serana has the option of proposal just will kindly refuse.
If a follower is married and is currently accompanying the player, they tin yet provide homemade meals whilst not being almost any cooking facilities. As well, they can still give the "profits" of their shops, even though they are following the player and would not had the opportunity to "sell" annihilation.
All marriageable male Dunmer, with the exception of Revyn Sadri, share the same courting dialogue nearly the Amulet of Mara and after-matrimony conversations.
Muiri is the only female spouse who is a defended apothecary, if Bothela is killed prior to marriage. Quintus Navale is the but male spouse who is a dedicated apothecary.
If the Dawnguard improver is installed, when talking with Florentius Baenius, the Dragonborn can occasionally learn that their spouse has been kidnapped by vampires at the get-go of the quest "Rescue."
The majority of spouse options are Nords and Imperials, with a some Elves, Bretons, Orcs and Argonians mixed in. However in that location are no Khajiit spouses which makes sense because the majority of Khajiit in Skyrim are traders or travelers from Elsweyr and probably accept families back home. Also Khajiit npcs talk about habitation a lot and how much they miss it and how cold Skyrim is so they probably don't want to marry and settle down in Skyrim.
