History HappilyMarried / VideoGames

* Ky and Dizzy in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', while ''technically'' not married due to in-universe legal reasons, are for all other intents and purposes a married couple in-between ''XX'' and ''2'' and still refer to each other as husband and wife, making them the first instance of a married couple in a fighting game where both partners are playable.

%%** [[spoiler: Same goes for Vincent and [[NamesTheSame Catherine]] in the "True Cheaters" ending. Though theirs is more of an UnholyMatrimony.]]

%%NOTE: zero context examples and poorly written examples have been commented out. If you want to uncomment an example add context that explains how these characters' relationships fit this trope.

%%* Twinsen and Zoe, expecting their first child in ''VideoGame/LittleBigAdventure 2''.
%%* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has Rusl and Uli, Colin's parents, in Ordon Village.
%%** Yeto & Yeta.

%%* [[VideoGame/NeverwinterNights Aribeth and Fenthick]] were on their way there before Fenthick's trusting nature got him executed at the end of the first chapter of the first campaign. [[spoiler:He only existed to give Aribeth a reason to turn to the dark side, anyway.]]
* Ron and Desirée [=DeLite=] from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations''. They are a [[ShrinkingViolet shy and stuttering]] GentlemanThief and a spend-happy biker respectively, but they still love each other greatly, and he's absolutely willing to put himself in harm's way for her. He spends the whole case dreading the moment his wife finds out about his thievery that he started to support her spending habit, since she openly despises criminals after being held hostage a few years back, which is how they met, from which Ron rescued her by screaming at the robbers to "PLEASE, STOP IT" until they fled. But in end she loves him as much as before, if not more, because he manned up and confessed to the court, and it's that more that she hates people who are sneaky and dishonest about their crimes, not to mention the fact that he did it all to make her happy. During the second ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'' game, at the beginning of the third case, you can actually spot the two of them at the art gallery -- if you listen in on their conversation, they're speculating as to how they could pull off stealing one of the ice sculptures.
%%* Toshiie and Matsu in ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', who may also qualify for SickeninglySweethearts.
* Atrus and Katran of ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'', in contrast with their epically screwed up family in general. And if those two had paid more attention to what their kids got up to, [[PlayerCharacter the Stranger]] could have avoided twenty years of troubleshooting.
** Saavedro and Tamra count as well (that is, before Sirrus and Achenar arrive on Narayan...) Sadly, it's never clarified if she survived/stayed single in those twenty years when Saavedro was trapped.

* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series has several examples:
%%** Cid from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' is happily married.
** [[OfficialCouple Cecil and Rosa]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', at least after the credits and in the sequel. The only primary couple in the main ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series to date that has managed this, astonishingly. While some other pairs are implied to become this later, Zidane and Garnet of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' most prominently, only Cecil and Rosa have officially tied the knot, which is what this trope is about. %% Yang and his wife also qualify.
%%** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' has a tragic example. Cyan and his wife Elaine were appearently this. [[spoiler: Before her death.]]
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', Cid Kramer and his wife [[spoiler:sorceress Edea]] were a happy, loving, and mutually devoted couple until [[spoiler:Ultimecia's possession of Edea]] forced them to separate. Once they're reunited after the end of the game's second disc their marriage is as strong and supportive as ever, with [[spoiler:Edea]] describing Cid as her [[LadyAndKnight knight]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' had Ashe and Rassler and their PerfectlyArrangedMarriage. They share a joke in a flashback about how everyone thinks they're marrying for political convenience when the reality is they're in love. Since he dies in the opening credits, Ashe becomes a CrusadingWidow for the bulk of the game.
** Wakka and Lulu from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. Their marriage is a sign they've moved past their angst from the first game [[note]] the death of Wakka's brother and Lulu's former boyfriend[[/note]] and indeed they are happy and ''[[BabiesEverAfter parents]]''. One such mission in the sequel is searching for a sphere containing information about Wakka's parents which Wakka is looking for because he wants to use it as a model for what a good father should be.

%%* Flint and Hinawa from ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. Turns tragic shortly after the game begins, unfortunately.
* Part of the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' experience is the ''player'' character becoming Happily Married to the bachelor/ette of their choice. Supposed to be a small part of the game, but PopularityPower means that it's grown in importance as the series continues. That aside, within the games themselves are several (dozen) NPC couples, the majority if not the entirety being Happily Married.
** Subverted in ''Harvest Moon DS (Cute)'' where, when you talk to the rival couples after marriage, all but one couple seem to voice doubts about the marriage to the player.
** Among the more curious examples is Luke and Selena in ''Animal Parade.'' They end up arguing in their first "relationship" cutscene, and in the second, Luke just [[FourthDateMarriage asks Selena out of the blue if she wants to get married,]] and she agrees. They end up being an extremely close couple, and one of the few who [[GRatedSex openly desire many more children after their first.]] [[LawOfInverseFertility Of course, game laws mean it won't happen.]]

* ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'': Graham and Valanice seem to be doing pretty well for themselves, Alexander and Cassima also seem to be doing okay, Cassima's parents seem happy, and it's pretty much assumed that Edgar and Rosella will go here... eventually. In the FanRemake of ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIIRomancingTheThrone'' [[spoiler: Caldaur and Lavidia, Count and Countess of Kolyma also are still quite in love]].
** In ''VideoGame/KingsQuest2015'', Graham and Valanice are in their dotage but still adore one another. Their children's marriages are also implied to be happy, although neither Edgar nor Cassima are ever seen in the game, sadly, they're both mentioned by name in the fourth chapter.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyParty'' has Butch and Charlotte. They may differ in [[MayDecemberRomance age,]] [[HugeGuyTinyGirl height]], and even ethnicity, but they're a BattleCouple and Butch is a hopeless romantic anyway. Interestingly, the game's other couple, Dorian and Olivia, is a toss-up between this and NoAccountingForTaste--they clearly love each other despite the fact that they argue all the time, but, well, [[spoiler: [[LivingWithTheVillain they're also one another's arch-nemesis.]] Dorian knew this, and still somehow doesn't care.]]
* Khalid and Jaheira of ''VideoGame/BaldursGate''. Sure, Jaheira is bossy around him but their marriage is a happy one. She also cries when [[spoiler: Khalid dies.]] The player character can also be married with either [[spoiler: Jaheira, Aerie, and Anomen.]]
* ''Franchise/DragonAge:''
** The world of Thedas seems significantly more accepting of extramarital affairs than a normal medieval setting, so the only romantic pairing in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' in which the player ends up getting married is with a female Human Noble Warden and Alistair. Theirs is, however, an ''extremely'' happy marriage; the epilogue states that Alistair openly adores his wife, much to the delight of the rest of the kingdom.
*** The Human Noble Warden had an excellent example of a happy marriage in their parents, Bryce and Eleanor Cousland. The origin story depicts them as kindly people who love each other very much, and [[spoiler:remain TogetherInDeath to buy their youngest child time to escape]]. Supplemental material reveals the nature of their courtship, which shows that the relationship has been happy pretty much from its beginning. The Warden's older brother, Fergus, is also shown in the origin story as being happily married to his wife Oriana.
*** Although their mother has died by the time of ''Origins'', the City Elf Warden's parents, Cyrion and Adaia Tabris, are understood to have been very happily married. It's even stated that Duncan wanted to recruit Adaia to the Wardens years earlier, and part of the reason she didn't go was because of this.
*** Arl Eamon of Redcliffe and his wife Isolde are, as far as we're shown, this. Eamon married Isolde, an Orlesian woman, despite many people objecting to her nationality, and seems to dote on her; her manners at his bedside when he wakes from his ailment likewise seem to indicate a strong affection.
*** In the ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]'' expansion, if Nathaniel Howe is recruited to the Wardens, the party can facilitate a reunion between him and his sister Delilah. She's now married to a shopkeeper named Albert, and is quick to assure her brother that she didn't get married out of desperation; in her own words, she adores her husband and is expecting their first child.
** If Hawke assists in the courtship, BetaCouple Aveline and Donnic get married between Acts 2 and 3 in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII.'' Aveline has a personal quest in Act 3, as well as several lines of party banter, which indicate that the marriage is very solid and quite happy. From what little of it is shown in Act 1, Aveline's first marriage to the ill-fated Wesley Vallen was also very loving and happy.
*** If Hawke is female and romances Sebastian on the friendship path, he will ask if she is willing to enter a chaste marriage with him, taking vows as a Chantry sister. If she accepts, they get married almost immediately; from what is shown of the relationship in the remainder of the game, they are very happy together.
*** Although Hawke's father Malcolm died some time before the beginning of the game, everything their mother Leandra says about her marriage to him - and everything that Hawke and their siblings remember about it themselves - indicates that it was extremely happy and loving, despite the hardships created by Malcolm and Bethany (and potentially Hawke) being apostate mages.
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', depending on the player's previous choices, [[spoiler:Morrigan and the Warden will be married in all but name. They are still very much in love and are completely devoted to one another.]]
*** Dennet, the retired horsemaster of the Arl of Redcliffe, can be recruited to the Inquisition as an agent if certain requirements are fulfilled. He and his wife, Elaina, enjoy a very strong and committed marriage, as indicated by a codex entry that can be found on their farm.
*** The DLC ''Trespasser'' may include a wedding for the female Inquisitor if she romanced either [[spoiler:Sera]] or [[spoiler:Cullen]] and accepts their proposal. In both cases, the epilogue indicates that they are very happy together.
%%* We have Meryl and Johnny getting a happy wedding at the end of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''.
* ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'': Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley as of the end of ''[[VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland Curse]]''. Despite Elaine's arguably superior intellect and competency, she always trusts Guybrush. The only time their marriage is remotely threatened is in ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland Tales]]'' when she falls under [[spoiler: the Pox of Lechuck]] and he spends his entire adventure with another woman, but he never turns away from Elaine, and by the end of chapter four it's clear that she'll do anything for him.
* ''VideoGame/TomodachiLife'': Miis who are [[OfficialCouple dating]] could become this; it occurs when one of them wants to propose to the other. To propose, the player has to help the Mii out by alerting them if their partner is thinking of them. If this is done four times successfully, the Miis get married, you'll get to see their wedding and their honeymoon. Eventually they could [[BabiesEverAfter have a baby]].
** This can also occur on child Miis, but the player has to use the Age-o-matic on the couple after the proposal so the wedding can take place.
%%* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'': [[spoiler: In the game's "True Lovers" ending (one of several true endings), Vincent and Katherine get married. Orlando and his ex-wife even decide to give it another chance as well. {{Happy ending}}s for everyone!]]
%%** [[spoiler: Same goes for Vincent and [[NamesTheSame Catherine]] in the "True Cheaters" ending. Though theirs is more of an UnholyMatrimony.]]
%%* The King and Queen of All Cosmos from ''[[VideoGame/KatamariDamacy Katamari,]]'' as shown in ''We Love Katamari'' and ''Katamari Forever.''
* At the end of ''VideoGame/BackToTheFutureTheGame'', [[spoiler:1930s [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily gangster Kid Tannen]] and [[ActivistFundamentalistAntics activist Edna Strickland]] are [[LoveRedeems well-adjusted and happily married]]]] in 1986.
* Almost every ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' husband/wife team is a good match between people who do care about each other, often ignoring both history and the source material, though Hideyoshi is still a bit of a lech and Nohime is a very mentally disturbed woman.
* Hakan of ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Super Street Fighter IV]]'' has a wife and seven daughters, as part of his wholesome and campy character.
** Ken and Eliza Masters, for all of [[LovedINotHonorMore his travelling and fighting around]], are actually pretty happy when they're shown together.
* Keith and Lilly in ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition.'' Although they initially seem to fall under the NoAccountingForTaste banner--Keith is about [[MayDecemberRomance a decade younger than his wife]] and utterly obsessed with rock 'n' roll, while Lilly is a "supermom" who is without a doubt ParentingTheHusband--talking with them will reveal that they utterly love each other to pieces and that their seemingly disparate traits actually work together instead of against each other.
* Flint and Hinawa, the parents of the protagonist in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. They're only seen directly interacting with each other once, but between the sweet letter she sends him at the start of the game and the fact that Flint [[HeroicBSOD nearly goes insane]] when [[spoiler:she gets killed]], it's more than clear that they love each other.
** In keeping with the [[{{Arcadia}} idealistic]] nature of the setting [[spoiler:before the Pigmasks take over]], almost every couple in Tazmily village seems to qualify if you pay close attention to their dialogue. [[FamilyThemeNaming Abbey and Abbot]], a young couple who appear to be both florists, particularly stand out.
* ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction'' features two:
** First there's Taupy and his [[AmbiguousSituation wife/live-in girlfriend]] Muffy. While she's largely a SatelliteLoveInterest, it's clear they love each other and that their situation works for them; any time Taupy is home, he and Muffy are shamelessly affectionate.
** About halfway through, Kyrie and Morte become an OfficialCouple. Agan seems to think they're SickeninglySweethearts, but he's the ButtMonkey and TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong; they're actually less schmoopy than Taupy and Muffy. While they're still teenagers (and thus unmarried), they have none of the drama or jealousy typically associated with teen romance, and the ending implies that they'll continue to stay together.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' franchise had a LoveTriangle with Malfurion Stormrage and his brother, Illidan Stormrage, with their childhood friend, Tyrande Whisperwind. Even as a LoveTriangle, however, all three were on very good terms with each other until Illidan's StartOfDarkness. Illidan is eventually exiled (then killed), and Malfurion and Tyrande [[TheyDo tie the knot]] in the novel ''Stormrage''. Their relationship is never portrayed as anything less than TrueLove, with nary an argument to be seen.[[note]]Tyrande, being the night elf racial leader, can be killed by Horde players for an achievement. Despite Malfurion being in the room and doing nothing when Horde players attack reaching [[MemeticMutation memetic status]] in the forum community, it's an artifact from the days when he was still missing and is for the sake of a fair boss fight, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation not actual canon]].[[/note]]
* In ''VideoGame/WitchesLegacy'' Lynn and Edward, despite a rocky start to their relationship, are this, having gotten past their opposing viewpoints and occasional bouts of being both a DamselInDistress and DistressedDude to [[BattleCouple fight evil]].
* The original ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''[='s=] epilogue shows [[spoiler:Welkin and Alicia]] living HappilyEverAfter with their daughter. ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII'' takes place during the second year of their marriage, and also shows them living quite happily together despite the civil war taking place around them.
** BattleCouple Lynn and Karl are explicitly stated to have also become this after the war, with the two raising their child together.
** ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesIII'' ends with [[spoiler:Kurt and either Riela or Imca]] becoming this after he proposes to one of them, with epilogues depicting either [[spoiler:his and Riela's wedding]], or [[spoiler:him and Imca running an OrphanageOfLove together]].
* In ''VisualNovel/StrawberryVinegar'', Rie's parents never fight despite seeming like polar opposites sometimes. Her mother does occasionally tease Rie's (easily flustered) father though.
* The titular VideoGame/{{Octodad}} is extremely devoted to his beloved (human) wife Scarlet, and she adores him as well. [[MST3Kmantra Don't ask us how it works, or where their two perfectly normal (and presumably not adopted) children came from.]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Guenevere}}'', [[PlayerCharacter Guen's]] marriage to Arthur has the potential for this. If options are chosen that indicate she's [[PerfectlyArrangedMarriage happy in the match]], he will fully reciprocate, and other characters will remark on their apparent bliss.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** In the series' backstory, LostOrphanedRoyalty and the future Queen of Morrowind, Barenziah, was [[RulingFamilyMassacre the last surviving member of her noble Dunmeri family]] after [[TheConqueror Tiber Septim]]'s Imperial Legions sacked Mournhold. Septim's Dunmeri General, Symmachus, convinced Septim to spare the girl as she would prove useful as a [[PuppetKing Puppet Vassal Queen]] down the line. After escaping from her Imperial-loyalist foster family and having plenty of adventures in her youth, including spending time as TheArtfulDodger and participating in TheOldestProfession, Symmachus tracked her down and sent her to live with Septim himself. After an affair with Septim [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion turned ugly]], Barenziah married Symmachus and took the throne as Queen of Morrowind. Despite the potential for issues given their history, her marriage to Symmachus turned out to be a very happy one. However, Symmachus was killed during unrest in Morrowind and, fearing for her life and the lives of her children, Barenziah abdicated the throne and fled to the Imperial City. There she met King Eadwyre of Wayrest in High Rock, and the two entered a marriage of political convenience. Once again, despite the potential for issues inherent in such an arrangement, the marriage was by all accounts a happy one.
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' has a few examples in the present day:
*** The [[PlayerCharacter Dragonborn]] can marry any one of a couple dozen possible spouses (regardless of race or gender), and the spouse's dialogue when interacting indicates that the union is harmonious and sweet.
*** High King Torygg is DeadToBeginWith, but given the way she continues to mourn for him, it's suggested that he and his wife Elisif were this. [[spoiler:If the Dragonborn speaks to his spirit in Sovngarde, he says that his only real regret about dying is that he had to leave her.]]
*** Dinya Balu and Maramal, the high priest and priestess at the Temple of Mara in Riften, are SickeninglySweethearts who are expecting their first child.
*** In the ''Dragonborn'' expansion, Crescius Carellius and his wife Aphia love each other devotedly.
* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet (the same from the Dream Radar application). The anime, however, start them out as a couple with them getting married after [[spoiler: the Ultra Beast arc.]] In both cases, they are quite happy together.
* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has Sigurd and Brynhildr. While Brynhildr's {{Yandere}} tendencies make her constantly attempt to kill him, he deflects all of her attempts out of his love for her. When they're not fighting for their lives, they can be found in each other's embrace as a pair of SickeninglySweethearts.
%%%%%%%%%%%% ZCE
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%* ''VideoGame/ClarencesBigChance'': [[spoiler:Clarence and the girl in the Best Ending.]]
* Ky and Dizzy in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', while ''technically'' not married due to in-universe legal reasons, are for all other intents and purposes a married couple in-between ''XX'' and ''2'' and still refer to each other as husband and wife, making them the first instance of a married couple in a fighting game where both partners are playable.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Torneko's wife Tessie/Neta seems to be perfectly happy with him (and apparently is attracted to his drive to follow his dreams instead of his looks), and his comments about her lunches using the appraise command indicate he's just as satisfied.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'': No matter who the Hero ends up with (Bianca, Nera or Debora), they become quite fond of each other.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'': If the player uses a wish to live with Gemma in the post-game, she is explicitly stated to have gotten married to the Luminary. She's given the most blatantly romantic ending by having her happily recount the events of their wedding and asks the Luminary to repeat his marriage vows to her.
* ''VideoGame/BlasterMasterZeroIII'' has Kane and Jennifer Gardner, Eve's creators/parents who also have a daughter named Eva, and at the end of the game, [[spoiler: Jason and Eve, who themselves have their own children, Roddy and Elfie]].

*** One of the rare non-BattleCouple happy marriages occurs with Dorcas and his [=NPC=] wife Nathalie. Her status as an IllGirl drives Dorcas to banditry, but she follows him to talk him out of it despite her condition.

* Ron and Desirée [=DeLite=] from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations''. They are a [[ShrinkingViolet shy and stuttering]] GentlemanThief and a spend-happy BikerBabe respectively, but they still love each other greatly, and he's absolutely willing to put himself in harm's way for her. He spends the whole case dreading the moment his wife finds out about his thievery that he started to support her spending habit, since she openly despises criminals after being held hostage a few years back, which is how they met, from which Ron rescued her by screaming at the robbers to "PLEASE, STOP IT" until they fled. But in end she loves him as much as before, if not more, because he manned up and confessed to the court, and it's that more that she hates people who are sneaky and dishonest about their crimes, not to mention the fact that he did it all to make her happy. During the second ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth'' game, at the beginning of the third case, you can actually spot the two of them at the art gallery -- if you listen in on their conversation, they're speculating as to how they could pull off stealing one of the ice sculptures.

* Part of the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' experience is the ''player'' character becoming Happily Married to the bachelor/ette of their choice. Supposed to be a small part of the game, but PopularityPower means that it's grown in importance as the series continues.

%%NOTE: zero context examples and poorly written examples have been commented out. If you want to uncomment an example add context that explains how these characters' relationship fit this trope.

** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', all married couples fit this trope. Especially notable if the player steps on an event tile and you have a married couple paired-up. The event in question can ranged from them promising each other to survive the war, giving gifts to one another, or commenting how beautiful their spouse looks. That is not even getting into the stats boost granted by married couples.

* John and Abigail Marston of ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption''. Even though Abigail is held hostage for most of the game, John turns down the advances of many women, and does everything within his power to get his family back. [[spoiler: And eventually he does.]]

They end up arguing in their first "relationship" cutscene, and in the second, Luke just [[FourthDateMarriage asks Selena out of the blue if she wants to get married,]] and she agrees.

Despite Elaine's arguably superior intellect and competency, she always trusts Guybrush.

They are a [[ShrinkingViolet cripplingly insecure]] GentlemanThief and a spend-happy BikerBabe respectively, but they still love each other greatly, and Ron is willing to put himself in harms way for his wife.

** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Genealogy of the Holy War]]'', Ethlyn and Quan are a BattleCouple who never argue and support each other in helping Sigurd (who is Ethlyn's brother and Quan's longtime friend). Promotional art shows them and their kids as a loving family.
** Selfina and Glade in ''Thracia 776'' are both knights. Selfina reassures Glade when he feels guilty over the deaths of his troops and Glade likewise when Selfina [[spoiler:is still mourning the death of her friends Quan and Ethlyn]].
** Yuno and Zealot in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Sword of Seals]]'' are another longtime BattleCouple who tried to retire and start a family before getting called back into service. Yuno's sisters both gush over what a good husband Zealot is; in Yuno and Zealot's own supports, they worry about the daughter they left behind but agree that they both need to stay in the field.
** In ''Blazing Sword'', Pent and Louise are another couple that joins your army. (Their children both feature in ''Sword of Seals''.) Their supports are basically about how much they love each other and want to be with each other when the war's over. One of the rare non-BattleCouple happy marriages occurs with Dorcas and his [=NPC=] wife Nathalie. Her status as an IllGirl drives Dorcas to banditry, but she follows him to talk him out of it despite her condition.
** In ''Awakening'' and ''Fates'' all married couples fit this trope. Especially notable if the player steps on an event tile and you have a married couple paired-up. The event in question can ranged from them promising each other to survive the war, giving gifts to one another, or commenting how beautiful their spouse looks. That is not even getting into the stats boost granted by married couples.
%%** In the Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn continuity, we have Calil and Largo.

* ''VideoGame/GuiltyParty'' has Butch and Charlotte. They may differ in [[MayDecemberRomance age,]] [[HugeGuyTinyGirl height]], and even ethnicity, but they're a BattleCouple and Butch is a hopeless romantic anyway. Interestingly, the game's other couple, Dorian and Olivia, is a toss-up between this and NoAccountingForTaste--they clearly love each other despite the fact that they argue all the time, but, well, [[spoiler: [[LivingWithTheVillain they're also one another's arch-nemeses.]] Dorian knew this, and still somehow doesn't care.]]

*** Also in ''Inquisition,'' the DLC ''Trespasser'' may include a wedding for the female Inquisitor if she romanced either [[spoiler:Sera]] or [[spoiler:Cullen]] and accepts their proposal. In both cases, the epilogue indicates that they are very happy together.

%%* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'': [[spoiler: In the game's "True Lovers" ending (one of several true endings), Vincent and Katherine get married. Orlando and his ex-wife even decide to give it another chance as well. [[HappyEnding Happy endings]] for everyone!]]

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series' backstory, LostOrphanedRoyalty and the future Queen of Morrowind, Barenziah, was [[RulingFamilyMassacre the last surviving member of her noble Dunmeri family]] after [[TheConqueror Tiber Septim]]'s Imperial Legions sacked Mournhold. Septim's Dunmeri General, Symmachus, convinced Septim to spare the girl as she would prove useful as a [[PuppetKing Puppet Vassal Queen]] down the line. After escaping from her Imperial-loyalist foster family and having plenty of adventures in her youth, including spending time as TheArtfulDodger and participating in TheOldestProfession, Symmachus tracked her down and sent her to live with Septim himself. After an affair with Septim [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion turned ugly]], Barenziah would marry Symmachus and take the throne as Queen of Morrowind. Despite the potential for issues given their history, her marriage to Symmachus turned out to be a very happy one. However, Symmachus was killed during unrest in Morrowind and, fearing for her life and the lives of her children, Barenziah abdicated the throne and fled to the Imperial City. There she met King Eadwyre of Wayrest in High Rock, and the two would enter a marriage of political convenience. Once again, despite the potential for issues inherent is such an arrangement, the marriage was by all accounts a happy one.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' has Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet (the same from the Dream Radar application). The anime, however, start them out as a couple with them getting married after [[spoiler: the Ultra Beast arc.]] In both cases, they are quite happy together

** Among the more curious examples is Luke and Selena in ''AnimalParade.'' They end up arguing in their first "relationship" cutscene, and in the second, Luke just [[FourthDateMarriage asks Selena out of the blue if she wants to get married,]] and she agrees. They end up been an extremely close couple, and one of the few who [[GRatedSex openly desire many more children after their first...]] [[LawOfInverseFertility ...though game laws mean it won't happen.]]

*** The Human Noble Warden had an excellent example of a happy marriage in their parents, Bryce and Eleanor Cousland. The origin story depicts them as kindly people who love each other very much, and [[spoiler:remain TogetherInDeath to buy their youngest child time to escape]]. The Warden's older brother, Fergus, is also shown in the origin story as being happily married to his wife Oriana.

*** In the ''Awakening'' expansion, if Nathaniel Howe is recruited to the Wardens, the party can facilitate a reunion between him and his sister Delilah. She's now married to a shopkeeper named Albert, and is quick to assure her brother that she didn't get married out of desperation; in her own words, she adores her husband, and is expecting their first child.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' franchise had a LoveTriangle with Malfurion Stormrage and his brother, Illidan Stormrage, with their childhood friend, Tyrande Whisperwind. Even as a LoveTriangle, however, all three were on very good terms with each other until Illidan's StartOfDarkness. Illidan is eventually exiled (then killed), and Malfurion and Tyrande [[TheyDo tie the knot]] in the novel ''Literature/{{Stormrage}}''. Their relationship is never portrayed as anything less than TrueLove, with nary an argument to be seen.[[note]]Tyrande, being the night elf racial leader, can be killed by Horde players for an achievement. Despite Malfurion being in the room and doing nothing when Horde players attack reaching [[MemeticMutation memetic status]] in the forum community, it's an artifact from the days when he was still missing and is for the sake of a fair boss fight, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation not actual canon]].[[/note]]
* In ''Videogame/WitchesLegacy'' Lynn and Edward, despite a rocky start to their relationship, are this, having gotten past their opposing viewpoints and occasional bouts of being both a DamselInDistress and DistressedDude to [[BattleCouple fight evil]].

* The titular VideoGame/{{Octodad}} is extremely devoted to his beloved (human) wife Scarlet, and she adores him as well. [[MST3Kmantra Don't ask us how it works, or where their two perfectly-normal (and presumably not adopted) children came from.]]

* Ky and Dizzy in ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', while ''technically'' not married due to in-universe legal reasons, are for all other intents and purposes a married couple in-between ''XX'' and ''2'' and still refer to each other as husband and wife, making them the first instance of a married couple in a fighting game where both partners are playable.
----

* At the end of ''VideoGame/BackToTheFuture'', [[spoiler:1930s [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily gangster Kid Tannen]] and [[ActivistFundamentalistAntics activist Edna Strickland]] are [[LoveRedeems well-adjusted and happily married]]]] in 1986.

* ''KingdomHearts'' has (in theory at least) Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Since they rule together as King and Queen, it's not unreasonable to presume they're married, although it's never explicitly stated that they are.

* ''VideoGames/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': A letter on Joey's bulletin board implies that [[spoiler: Thomas Connor and Allison Pendle]] got married.

* [[VideoGame/MonkeyIsland Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley]] as of the end of ''[[VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland Curse]]''. Despite Elaine's arguably superior intellect and competency, she always trusts Guybrush. The only time their marriage is remotely threatened is in ''[[VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland Tales]]'', when she falls under [[spoiler: the Pox of Lechuck]] and he spends his entire adventure with another woman, but he never turns away from Elaine, and by the end of chapter four it's clear that she'll do anything for him.
