− | [[ | + | Two [[dwarf|dwarves]] can get married if they are of the opposite gender. Dwarves have a romantic relationship together before they are married. Instantly after marriage those dwarves usually make a wedding party, if there is an available room, such as a [[sculpture garden|statue garden]], or a [[dining room]] marked as a meeting hall. Dwarves marry for life; a dwarf whose spouse dies will not remarry. It appears that they even may commit [[suicide]], though the game does not explicitely announce this. |

If they are compatible in terms of age and marital status, they will eventually become lovers and then marry. If not, they will simply become friends. Dwarves with too little free time will not have time for romance. |

Because of this, the couple only requires one [[bed]], and any [[bedroom]] claimed by or assigned to one spouse will automatically be assigned to both.

There are no visible signs of pregnancy, and the only effective means of contraception (other than the child limit) is physical isolation. However, that doesn't mean a pregnancy will always result in a [[baby]]. Pregnancies may end in [[miscarriage]] if the dwarf is starving, dehydrated, sustains an injury, etc., which can lead to [[tantrum]]s from your now miserable dwarf. |
