There are 62 male and female NPC candidates for marriage. There is no need for courting, however many of Skyrim’s candidates for marriages have a small pre-cursor to them being eligible typically something quest-like in nature. Also, when you sleep in the same house as them you benefit from the ‘Lovers Comfort’ perk (so long as you aren’t a werewolf).Īfter obtaining the Amulet of Mara and discussing your intentions with Maramal – a priest in the Temple of Mara – your character is free to propose to the suitable candidate of your choosing. They cook special meals for you, and happily tend to your home. In Skyrim your spouse will run a ‘store’ and give you $100 a day from the proceeds.
