Every place and candidate for marriage in Skyrim

The addition of a new dimension to NPC interactions in-game via Skyrim marriage is a crucial aspect of its richness. There is a lengthy list of persons you can marry, and a guide to each one is provided below. However, since there are so many alternatives, it may be a little difficult to figure it all out. But in the end, everything is worthwhile for a happily ever after.Oh, Skyrim. The game that will always be around, much like love.

We have a Skyrim marriage guide since, just like in real life, marriage isn't easy. We address who is eligible to marry, why someone would marry, how to tie the knot, and, in the event of a crisis, how to file for divorce. If you're particularly interested in Skyrim Serana and Skyrim Lydia, we have comprehensive guides for you. You may also check out the expansive Skyrim map in case you get lost.

Here's all you need to know in our comprehensive guide to getting married in Skyrim:

Is marriage a good idea in Skyrim?

In Skyrim, getting married is definitely a good idea, particularly if you want to reap additional perks. The following are advantages of marrying in Skyrim:

• Money – your partner gives you gold if you have a house
• Food – they also cook a meal every day if you have a house
• The Bonds of Matrimony –  a ring that fortifies restoration spells
• Lover’s Comfort – a boost to experience gains if you sleep in the same area as your partner
• Immortality – your partner can only be killed by you, not anyone else

How can I tie the knot in Skyrim?

Here's a detailed guide on getting married in Skyrim:

• Talk to Marmal about marriage at the Temple of Mara or Bee and Barb in Riften
• Obtain an Amulet of Mara (more details below)
• Complete a character’s specific requirements for marriage (more details below)
• Ask the character to marry you while wearing the Amulet of Mara
• Return to Marmal to arrange a wedding ceremony
• Attend the wedding ceremony

That's all for you. After your marriage in Skyrim ends, you may enjoy a variety of benefits, including the option to move in with your spouse or have them do so, and to have a happy, second virtual life.

How can I get a Mara amulet?

An Amulet of Mara may be obtained in a few different ways:

• Buy one from Marmal in Riften (at Temple of Mara or the Bee and Barb)
• Complete the quest “The Book of Love” (started by talking to Fastred in Riften)
• Lover’s Tent, an unmarked location along the shoreline to the east of Dawnstar, has one inside
• Imperials, Stormcloaks, and Hold Guards may wear one you can pickpocket
• Many different merchants could sell one

In Skyrim, how do I file for divorce?

In Skyrim, the only way to end a marriage is to murder your partner. Proceed if you are able to live with this in your conscience. I find it a little nauseating, however.

In Skyrim, who may I marry?

The locations of all the Skryim marriage candidates and instructions on how to pop the question are listed here.

• Aela the Huntress

One of the Nord Companions is Aela the Huntress. To fulfill her marriage prerequisite, complete the Companions questline. She is located in Whiterun's Jorrvaskr.

• Aeri

Aeri is a Nord who can be found west of Windhelm in Anga's Mill. You may get married to her after cutting some firewood for her; she has a home. My friends, manual work is the labor of love.

• Ainethach

In Karthwasten, Ainethach is a Breton. To begin a quest about the Sanuarach mine, speak with him. He'll be willing to be your partner if you can fix the problem for him (love emoji).

• Angrenor Once-Honored

Angrenor Once-Honored is a common beggar in Windhelm who is sometimes seen wandering about and other times at Candlehearth Hall. One gold piece is all he needs to show you how much he cares. Would that all relationships could be like that, huh? (I apologize).

• Anwen

Redguard priestess Anwen is located in Markarth's Temple of Dibella. Helping Dibella along the way will allow you to finish The Heart of Dibella quest and win her affection. She remains at the temple despite her love for you, demonstrating her genuine commitment to Dibella.

• Argis the Bulwark

To locate Argis the Bulwark, go to Markarth's Vlindrel Hall. He becomes your disciple as soon as you become the thane of Markarth. Then it's time to have babies.

• Athis

Athis is a member of the Companions and a Dark Elf. To have the opportunity to marry him, finish the Companions questline. He is located in Whiterun's Jorrvaskr.

• Avrusa Sarethi

Avrusa Sarethi is a Dark Elf that requires physical work from you. She has a farm east of Ivarstead that she calls Sarethi farm, by the way. Get in Smooth Jazbay's good graces by completing the mission and gathering a ton of berries for her.

• Balimund

A Riften Nord with a penchant for crafting weapons is Balimund. Get him some fire salts so you can spend the evening curled up in his arms (figuratively speaking).

• Belrand

Most of the time, the dangerously named—if you make a typo—Belrand hangs out at The Winking Skeever pub in Solitude. All he needs to conclude that you're a suitable companion is 500 gold as a hiring charge. A plain guy with uncomplicated preferences.

• Benor

Benor's name suggests that you're asking someone to decide between you and someone else, but you don't have to say that. Just get the better of him in a brawl, and he'll agree to marry you. He enjoys a good fistfight.

• Borgakh the Steel Heart

To locate Borgakh—either inside or outside—go to Larak's Longhouse in Mor Khazgur. If your ability to persuade is strong enough, you may win her over as a disciple and eventually be married. However, before you do so, make sure you're OK with having the last name "the Steel Heart."

• Brelyna Maryon

Brelyna is a magic maven that can be found in Winterhold College. You may begin the task Brelyna's Practice by speaking with her. She will then perform spells on you, and you can hang around with her indefinitely—who knows, maybe she'll use magic to torment you some more.

• Calder

Locate a home in Windhelm and a Calder in Hjerim. Then, merely engage in some civil fighting and assume the role of the Thane of Eastmarch in order to wed him. Remember that becoming a Thane requires you to either seize Windhelm with the Imperials or capture Falkreath with the Stormcloaks—that's what I mean by the whole "civil-warring" thing.

• Camilla Valerius

There at the Riverwood Trader is Camilla Valerius. You may marry her once you enter, speak with her brother Lucan, and finish the quest "The Golden Claw"—I believe every player in Skyrim has already done this?

• Cosnach

Go to the Silver Blood Inn in Markarth, challenge this guy to a duel, emerge victorious, and then drop to one knee and demand his bloodied, splotchy hand in a grimy Skyrim marriage if you want a drunk for a mate. Brutal, yet in reality, he's just a teddy bear.

• Derkeethus

Situated near Darkwater Crossing, a mining settlement south of Windhelm, at the end of the river that runs past Fort Amol, is one of the few Argonian hubbies in existence. To begin the mission to rescue him from Darkwater Pass, speak with locals there. You have his affection once he's rescued.

• Dravynea the Stoneweaver

Dravynea the Stoneweaver is a Dark Elf located in Kynesgrove, south of Windhelm. He may be found in the Braidwood Inn or Steamscorch Mine. Speak with her, buy her some frost salts, and presto! Time for marriage.

• Farkas

Farkas is a Companion from the Nord. To locate him, go to Jorrvaskr, their Whiterun headquarters. To marry him, fulfill the primary Companion quest, just as you would with any other Companion.

• Filnjar

To locate the Nord Filnjar, go to Shor's Stone, which is located behind some mountains south of Windhelm. To begin the Mine or Yours quest, speak with him. Finish it to prepare him for marriage.

• Gat gro-Shargakh

An orc located east of Markarth in either Pavo's House or the Left Hand Mine. To begin the Kolskeggr Mine quest, speak with Pavo. Finish it to win this guy over. After you've cleared Kolskeggr Mine, both he and Pavo will return.

• Ghorbash the Iron Hand

This Iron-Handed guy may be found in Dushnikh Yal, an Orc stronghold, southeast of Markarth. You can get your hands on him if you can convince him to follow you, bribe him, or win him over in a fight. (I like the notion of buying someone's marriage).

• Ghorza gra-Bagol

Why do Orcs always have names starting with the letter G? That being said, Ghorza works as a blacksmith in Markarth. Finish her preferred Skilled Apprenticeship in order to prepare for a traditional Skyrim marriage.

• Gilfre

You may now proceed by going to Mixwater Mill, which is southwest of Windhelm, and chopping some firewood for Gilfre. Sometimes, the simplicity of love in Skyrim is breathtaking.

• Gregor

Heljarchen Hall is located south of Dawnstar. After you've turned into Thane of the Pale, you may locate Gregor here. To do this, go to Jarl Skald the Elder, finish Waking Nightmare (start this quest by speaking with Erandur at Windpeak Inn), finish the last three Dawnstar missions, and then go back to him. After that, Skald commands you to slay the giant, finish this quest to turn into Thane, and go see Gregor to do some romantic things.

• Halbarn Iron-Fur

To begin the mission Retaking Thirsk, travel to Bujold's Retreat in Solstheim (part of the Dragonborn DLC) and speak with Bujold. Go to Thirsk Mead Hall in the west to finish the quest. After everything is finished, locate Halbarn Iron-Fur in the meadow hall and go down on one knee for some cuddling.

• Hilund

In addition, Hilund may be located in Bujold's Retreat prior to finishing the mission Retaking Thirsk. After that's over, Thirsk Mead Hall is where you may find her. However, completing this quest is not necessary in order to be married. Have a conversation with her, take a few Riekling spears to fulfill her favor request, and give them back to her in exchange for the chance to win her everlasting love.

• Iona

Once you are Thane of the Rift, you may make Iona, a Nord soldier, your personal companion. Meet the Jarl of the Rift and finish the assignment I Done Got Thaned to do this! Yes, exactly—exclamation point and all—that is the name of the phenomenon. When you're finished, go play some Skyrim marriage with Iona in Honeyside.

• Jenassa

In Whiterun's Drunken Huntsman, Jenassa is a dark elf. It's cool that after you hire her for 500 gold, she realizes that she wouldn't mind becoming married to you. All it took was a little cash to make the transaction sweeter.

• Jordis the Sword-Maiden

Another Nord with a rigorous standard for marriage acceptance in Skyrim is Jordis the Sword-Maiden. To finish the mission Thane of Haafingar, all you have to do is go back to the hold, see the Jarl, help five of his residents, purchase Proudspire Manor, and finish the quest.

You may find Mjoll the Lioness in Riften, either dining at the Bee and the Barb or strolling about Aerin's House. Locate her to begin Grimsever's Return. Finish it to be eligible for her marriage.

• Morwen

To speak with Morwen, go to Skaal Village in Solstheim. Morwen may give you the mission Skaal Village Dialogue when you finish The Fate of the Skaal. If you succeed in your goal, she will agree to be your forever beau.

• Moth gro-Bagol

Moth gro-Bagol may be found in Markarth in Understone Keep. He just begs for a heart—more specifically, a Daedra heart. If you give him that, he's a happy guy—a little strange, in my opinion, but whatever.

• Muiri

In Markarth, Muiri oversees the Hag's Cure. Muiri completes the Dark Sacrament questline after starting the Dark Brotherhood questline. You begin the Mourning Never Comes quest after sending something to her. After doing this completely (that is, completing the optional goal "Kill Nilsine Shatter-Shield"), return to her.
