Two 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 statue garden, or a dining room marked as a meeting hall. Dwarves marry for life. A dwarf whose spouse dies will not remarry.
Dwarves must be within 10 years of each other in age, and must not be Children or Babies, to enter into a romantic relationship. Being Friends may be a prerequisite as well.
Dwarves with similar professions are more likely to get married.
To enter into a romantic relationship, dwarves must be allowed to idle together in the same room. They will socialize and build relationships. 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.
Married dwarves may sleep together. 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.
The wife will give birth to a baby every year, until she or her husband dies, or until the fortress's population limit or child limit is reached. There are no visible signs of pregnancy, and there are no effective means of contraception other than the child limit. 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 tantrums from your now miserable dwarf.
In the Relationships screen (v-z-r), Husband or Wife tops the list, ranked even above their deity. Their children are at the top of the Relationships list, above the deity and below the spouse.
It appears that marriages are often held off until springtime or early summer[Verify].
Some noble positions, including the monarch, give their spouses noble status as well.
