So, you’ve reached the point in your blossoming Starfield relationship where you finally want to tie the knot—congratulations! Thankfully, getting married to your virtual, significant other in Starfield is certainly possible.
There comes a time in a person’s life when they’ve saved enough of their hard-earned cash to celebrate their love with that special someone. This joyous and momentous occasion will be something you’ll remember for the rest of your Starfield life and maybe even some years into your real life too.
In games like Habbo Hotel and Skyrim years prior, gamers had the ability to get married or simulate a marriage ceremony—Starfield is no different.
Who can you marry in Starfield?
There are only a small number of romanceable characters in Starfield. So if you see a cute guard giving you looks as they wander the perimeter, they’re likely not interested — they just don’t trust you.
While an ever-expanding universe may give the illusion of many fish in the space sea, you might be disappointed to find out barely anyone is keen. You can only romance four characters in the confines of the entire Starfield galaxy.
Those four people include:
Hopefully, at least one of these hunks tickles your fancy.
How to get married in Starfield
Like most commitments, they take some time to get off the ground. You’ll have to put in the hours and go the extra mile to make characters like Sarah Morgan smile.
Another thing to note is, you won’t be able to hit up any other characters while you’re already pursuing someone. Certain characters like particular choices you’re presented with, e.g. Sarah loves it when you’re a good person and Andreja fancies thievery.
To start, simply keep the character by your side at all times, as I’m sure you already desire to. As you build your relationship, you’ll be presented with options to flirt — and you should.
Eventually, you’ll get to the point where you can select the Romance dialogue, and later you’ll be prompted with the Commitment option.

What happens when you get married in Starfield
Once you’ve completed the Commitment quest with your preferred partner, you’ll probably wonder what benefits marriage brings. Other than the lifetime of love with your spouse, of course.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much gameplay-wise. There is, of course, the Emotional Security buff which will give you a 15% XP boost for 24 minutes. To get said buff, you’ll have to sleep in bed with your spouse.
Other than that, marriage will bring unique dialogue between you and your selected partner, but there’s not much else. Enjoy your marriage!
Can you get divorced in Starfield?
Unless, of course, you don’t want to. Divorce is an option in Starfield, and if you’ve decided that a lifetime with Sarah Morgan or Sam Coe isn’t what you wanted, you can go your separate ways.
To end your marriage, you’ll simply choose the option to separate when talking with your partner. This will, naturally, make them very sad. However, you don’t have to be! Once you’re single, you’ll be ready to mingle and can romance one of the other members of Constellation.
