10 Co-Op Games with Marriage Options
Games That Bring People Together
Video games have a magical ability to bring people together. Whether it’s through cooperative gameplay or online interactions, gamers have the opportunity to bond, form connections, and even create lasting relationships. It’s not uncommon to hear stories of fans meeting through video games and eventually tying the knot, with in-game friends being invited to the real-life festivities.
Unfortunately, not all games have marriage systems enabled between players. However, there are some active games that not only allow inter-player unions but also provide a wide range of activities and constant updates for players to enjoy. These games encourage close and cozy cooperation, perfect for building relationships and having fun together.
So, without further ado, here is a list of games with official marriage options:
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley fans rejoiced when the multiplayer mode was released, and they discovered they could marry each other in-game. Compared to NPC marriages, player marriages are a little easier to arrange. No need to fill up hearts or unlock heart events. All you have to do is craft a Wedding Ring for your intended spouse. Just make sure to get the recipe from the Traveling Cart in multiplayer mode. Craft five iridium rings and find one prismatic shard to make the ring. If your partner accepts, a wedding ceremony will take place three days later.
Final Fantasy 14
Final Fantasy 14 allows players to get hitched through the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, regardless of their gender or race. However, there are a few requirements. You and your partner must play from the same home world and complete the main story quest “The Scions of the Seventh Dawn.” Once you’re ready, both of you need to equip a promise wristlet and purchase a ceremony package. There are different packages available, each offering unique items and bonuses.
- Rings of Power: Season 2 Explores Tolkien Stories
- Pokemon GO Great Battle League: Top Pokemon Teams
- Pokemon Sleep Rolling Out in Some Regions
| Package | Price | Items Included |
|---|---|---|
| Promise of Innocence | Free | Eternity Ring, Garments of Innocence (Undyable), Eternity Cake, Embrace (Emote), new hairstyles |
| Promise of Passion (Gold) | $10 | All Standard items, Garments of Passion (Dyeable), Ceremony Chocobo (2-seat mount), Demon Box, Bridesmoogle |
| Promise of Passion (Platinum) | $20 | All Gold items, Garments of Devotion (Dyeable with special details), additional bonuses |
More information about Eternal Bonding can be found on the official Final Fantasy 14 website.
The Elder Scrolls Online
Marriage in The Elder Scrolls Online is a straightforward process. All you need is one Pledge of Mara, which can be purchased through the Crown Store or obtained via game bundles. Find a Shrine of Mara, use the Pledge while facing each other, and click “Accept” in the pop-up window. Once married, wearing your Rings of Mara during group adventures with your spouse will grant both of you a 10% experience boost.
Maple Story
Maple Story, despite its age, still has an active user base, and one of the features that has maintained its popularity is marriage. Whether it’s a romantic or platonic partnership, getting married in-game provides bonuses and exclusive quests. To initiate a wedding, players must purchase a Wedding Ticket, which grants access to the Wedding Hall dungeon for the ceremony. The player with the Wedding Ticket can then use it to propose to another character. After the ceremony, there’s a reception where couples and guests receive rewards. In case things don’t work out, players can file for divorce.
Rift
Rift may have a smaller player base these days, but that doesn’t stop players from getting married. To start the process, players need to buy a Marriage Contract from the Marriage Coordinator. Use the contract on your partner, both parties agree to marry, and the ceremony is sealed. If you want to have a ceremony, you can also purchase a Wedding Ceremony Instance Creator. Just make sure to find an active player base for a truly celebratory experience.
Now that we’ve covered games with official marriage options, let’s take a look at some games that don’t have an official marriage system but still offer opportunities for bonding and fun.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Although you can’t officially get married in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, that hasn’t stopped players from creating their own unofficial ceremonies. Nintendo even released wedding-themed items during the Wedding Season event, allowing players to decorate their islands and create their own wedding ceremonies. It’s a great way to celebrate love, even if it’s not officially recognized in-game.
Minecraft
Minecraft may not be known for romance, but that hasn’t stopped fans from holding their own ceremonies in the game or even proposing to their partners through creative builds. Whether you want to recreate the venue of your real-life ceremony or create a unique place to role-play the event for online friends, Minecraft’s open-ended gameplay and wide server choice provide endless possibilities. It’s the perfect game for couples to build homes together and have a great time on a date night.
