To be able to marry any NPCs, you must first talk to Maramal about the cult of Mara. You can find him in Riften, either at the Bee and Barb inn or at the Temple of Mara. After you initially talk to him, you can buy an Amulet of Mara (needed to be able to marry) from him for 200 gold; you can also find it inside of a tent on the coast northeast of Dawnstar or get it from doing the quests given by Dinya Balu. If you get the Amulet by not buying it from Maramal, you will have to speak with him again before being able to propose to any NPCs. When speaking with specific NPCs with the Amulet of Mara equipped, you might find some choices that talk about marriage. They might accept your proposal, or you might need to complete a small quest first. If they accept, go to speak with Maramal at the Temple of Mara to plan your wedding. There are a few benefits to having a spouse. If you own a house, they will move into that house. They will cook one meal everyday for you, which increases the regeneration of your health, magicka and stamina. If you want them to follow you while exploring or questing, they will do so, and they will even fight for you. They will also carry some of your equipment for you, if needed. If you sleep in the house with your spouse, then you get a temporary boost that increases your rate of learning skills by 15% for eight hours. They might also give you gifts, sometimes.
