If you’re looking to finally settle down and find love in Skyrim, you might be a bit surprised by how many options you have. So long as you’ve got the Amulet of Mara, pretty much anyone whose trust you’ve gained will be willing to get married to you and settle down.
While who you settle down with is obviously your personal choice, there are a few husbands in particular that we recommend picking as your life-long partner. Without further ado, let’s have a look at the best husbands and how they’ll come to accept your proposal.
Updated on December 7th, 2020 by Anastasia Maillot: It’s a great time to return to the open-world of Skyrim, where marriage is just one of the many funny and interesting features. Male spouses in particular come in all kinds, with the exception of Khajiit. That being said, there are some great options depending on what you’re looking for. Spouses can sometimes do other things than just stay at home and cook food and maintain a shop. A great spouse will also make for a strong follower and hopefully have an interesting background and personality. Here’s the best of the best when it comes to male spouses.
20 Athis
It’s a rarity to see a Dunmer in a warrior faction like the Companions, but Athis is living proof of the fact that it can happen. He’s the only Dunmer in the Companions and is seen engaging into a brawl as soon as the Dragonborn enters Jorrvaskr for the first time.
Athis, like most regular Companion followers, is a great option as a follower for the first 25 levels of the game. The bonus of having him as a spouse is him providing One-Handed skill training. To marry him, you need to finish the Companion quest line fully and become the Harbringer.
19 Belrand
Don’t let Belrand’s appearance fool you. He might not be the best-looking spouse in the game, but he makes up for it with his high level cap of 40. He’ll serve the Dragonborn well for these first 40 levels, and is particularly resilient since he uses a combination of spells and sword skills to outwit his enemies.
Belrand also shows a rare degree of personality through his dialogue and commentary, making him great company. To marry him, he needs to be hired for 500 gold as a mercenary. After that, he can be married with the Amulet of Mara.
18 Gregor
Gregor is another housecarl in the game, and his specialty lies mostly in Heavy Armor and One-Handed combat skills. In order to recruit him and eventually marry him, the Dragonborn should become the Thane of the Pale by running jobs for the Jarl in Dawnstar.
Gregor is a strong one as a spouse. His level cap is at 50, so he’ll last the player for ideally half of their game or more, depending on how long it takes them to complete all quests and DLCs in Skyrim. He’s a great choice, even if he’s just a simple housecarl and might lack a bit of personality.
17 Halbarn Iron-Fur
Travel to Solstheim to meet Halbarn Iron-Fur, a spouse who won’t disappoint. He’s extremely strong, and knowledgeable about all things blacksmithing. In fact, once all quests related to him are done, he becomes a pretty decent merchant to visit regularly.
Halbarn can also be married, but this requires two entire quests to be completed. The Thirsk must be retaken from from the rieklings, after which he requires the Dragonborn to get him 10 stalhrim ingots and 15 ebony ingots. It’s all worth it, however, since his level cap is extremely high at 60.
16 Roggi Knot-Beard
Not all spouses have to be eternally great swordsmen. Sometimes, personal charm and the attitude of a hardworking fellow is all that’s needed, and Roggi Knot-Beard proves that. While he’s classified as a miner, he can actually become a follower early on in the game.
Roggi’s level cap is pretty low at 20, so he’ll only really be useful in the beginning of the game. To find him, head to Kynesgrove, where he’s usually at the local mine or the Braidwood Inn. He’ll ask the player to find his ancestral shield. Keep in mind that Roggi won’t usually stay in combat if he gets low on health, so he’s one of those spouses who will only help you to a degree. He’s best left at home where he can look pretty keeping the shop in order and cooking for the Dragonborn.
15 Scouts-Many-Marshes
There aren’t that many husbands in Skyrim that are Argonians, but even among the few Scouts-Many-Marshes takes the cake as the best one. He’s very much a peace-loving character, and he can be found outside of Windhelm, right by the river.
He’s a blacksmith by trade, but he can’t be hired as a follower as he’s only level 4 and has the blacksmith character type. However, what does make him valuable is the fact that he can offer training in the Light Armor skill, so players who specialize in this category might find him a particularly useful spouse to have. After speaking to him for the first time and helping him with a quest, he can be asked to marry the Dragonborn.
14 Stenvar
Looking for a spouse who’s not afraid of a fight? Head over to Windhelm’s Candlehearth Hall. In the upstairs area at the last table the Dragonborn will be able to find an old and seasoned mercenary named Stenvar, who can be hired for 500 coins.
He has a decent level cap of 40, so he’ll serve the Dragonborn well as a follower and spouse for the first 40 levels of the game. After that he’s best left at home to tend to the shop. The cool part is that he can also become a member of the Blades if invited, and no special quest is needed to marry him.
13 Marcurio
Not many capable mages want to devote their life to a spouse, but Marcurio is the exception to this rule. He can be found at the Bee and Barb inn over at Riften, and he’ll often be sitting on the first-floor bench, to the left side of the bar counter. He’s a mercenary with a hiring price of 500 coins.
Marcurio’s level cap is decent as well, and he’ll level until 40 with the Dragonborn, making him a fairly strong follower in the first half of the game. He can join the Blades, and is well versed in the school of Destruction magic, making him a great damage dealer.
12 Vorstag
Vorstag is another mercenary found in Skyrim. His home is the Silver-Blood Inn over in Markarth, and he can be easily recognized by his Nordic armor and flashy face paint. Vorstag has a typical hiring rate of 500 gold coins similar to all the other mercenaries in the game.
His level will also get capped at 40, which means that towards higher levels he’s usually best left at home rather than traveled with. Vorstag can be married almost instantly without doing any quests, and like many of the mercenaries, he’s also a candidate for joining the Blades. His warrior character type makes him a pretty decent follower for any ranged characters, as he specializes in heavy armor.
11 Torvar
Torvar is not the easiest one to deal with. A member of the Companions, he’s initially quite nice, but becomes a tad jealous as the Dragonborn surpasses him in the ranks of the guild. That being said, he can be married once the Companions quest Glory of the Dead has been completed.
Torvar is a typical Nord warrior. He’s skilled in one-handed, despite his love for two-handed weapons like hammers and axes. Above all, Torvar is a lover of all things alcoholic and will often talk about drinking and getting drunk. But hey, for some Dragonborns, he just might be the one and only.
10 Revyn Sadri
Head over to Windhelm’s Gray Quarter, an area where dark elves live in poverty and separation from the rest of Windhelm’s citizens. You’ll find Revyn’s shop there, and discover that he’s a hardworking and principled salesman who dislikes thieves.
In fact, he dislikes thieves so much so that he’ll give you the task of returning a golden ring to Viola Giordano, since he thinks it’s a stolen item. If you return the ring in a stealthy manner, he will be available for marriage, but if you hand Viola the ring face to face Revyn’s shop will face higher taxation and he will dislike you for it.
9 Roggi Knot-Beard
There’s nothing tremendously special about Roggi, but he’s a hardworking and honest man. You can find him at Kynesgrove, working at the Steamscorch Mine, and occasionally at Braidwood Inn at night time.
Upon meeting him he’ll share a fascinating story about how an ancestor of his founded Kynesgrove, but met an unfortunate fate inside a cave and lost his shield. Roggi will then send you off to find this fabled ancestral shield and return it to him, after which he’ll be available as a marriage candidate.
8 Ghorbash the Iron Hand
If an orc is a man after your heart, no judgment. Travel to the Orc Stronghold of Dushnik Yal near Markarth and you’ll be introduced to Ghorbash there. He’s a former exile of his kind, but he misses adventuring out into the wild.
However, since orcs usually cannot leave their people as that would dishonor them, he needs to be persuaded in order to be taken along for the journey. Alternatively, you can brawl him and if you win, he’ll come along as a follower, after which you can marry him.
7 Romlyn Dreth
For anyone passionate about mead and wine, Romlyn is the man of your dreams. He’s a dark elf working as a bootlegger, living in a house underneath the city of Riften. You’ll occasionally find him at the Bee and Barb or even at the Black-Briar Meadery.
Once you meet him, he’ll ask you to help him to smuggle some mead to Wilhelm, an innkeeper in Ivarstead. You can either agree to his plot or sabotage his plan by reporting him to Indaryn. If you help him, he’ll be available for marriage.
6 Perth
Those looking for another hard worker for their husband, but also someone who doesn’t look half bad, Perth is the man you need to seek out. Head over to Soljund’s Sinkhole located in The Reach.
He’s the owner of this mine, and will at once ask you to help with a bit of a Draugr infestation. Once you have the entire place cleared out, you can return over to him and deliver the good news in exchange for a bit of gold. He’ll then be available for a marriage.
5 Quintus Navale
Not all husbands need to be necessarily strong, some can simply be smart and clever enough. Quintus Navale is definitely part of the latter category, as he works at the White Phial of Windhelm, helping his capricious master keep shop. When you first enter the shop you’ll overhead an argument between Quintus and his master Nurelion, which will send you to find the famed White Phial.
Unfortunately, the item is broken and Quintus will require unmelting snow, mammoth tusk powder and a briar heart to repair it. Once you’ve completed the entire quest, he will be available for marriage.
4 Balimund
In terms of sheer marriage benefits, Balimund is one of the best options since he’s a blacksmith. Head over to Riften, where he works his forge near the town market. Upon speaking with him he’ll give you the task of fetching him Fire Salts for his forge.
After you’ve gathered the ingredients and brought them back to him, he can then be married. The best thing is that his belongings and his forge are now yours to use whenever you so please.
3 Farkas Or Vilkas
It’s difficult to say which of the two brothers in The Companions is the better husband, but since the process of gaining their trust is the same, we’ve decided to put them together. When you first approach Whiterun during the main questline, you’ll see a group of people fighting a giant. You can choose to ignore or help them, after which you’ll be invited to come and see them in Jorrvaskr within the city.
Here, you’ll begin your journey as a member of The Companions. Only after you’ve completed the faction’s main quest line fully and destroyed the Silver Hand can either Farkas or Vilkas be married.
2 Onmund
You might wonder why Onmund is on this list, but he’s quite a fascinating character since he’s a Nord seeking to study magic at the College of Winterhold. When you first enter the College yourself he’ll be a fellow student and will tell you about his struggles trying to convince his family that he was meant to become a mage.
Once you’ve completed the quest Under Saarthal, the first part of the College’s questline, you can speak to Onmund to receive his personal quest. He’ll ask you to fetch an amulet from Enthir, who in turn will ask you to find him a staff. Once both quests are completed Onmund will be available for marriage.
1 Argis the Bulwark
How about living in one of the most luxurious houses in Skyrim with the strongest and best-looking man in the game? If you said yes, listen up: travel to the city of Markarth. In order to gain Argis as your Housecarl, you need to become Thane in Markarth. This involves helping five people in the city, as well as purchasing Vlindrel Hall, the local house in the city.
The house costs 8000 gold to purchase and an additional 4200 gold to fully furnish. The easiest quests to help civilians quickly would be killing Nimhe, the spider Calcelmo mentions, give Degaine a drink, kill Alain and Nilsine for Muiri, kill the enemies inside the Hall of the Dead and fetch the stolen statue of Dibella for Lisbet.
