Skyrim: 10 Best Wives To Marry

The setting of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim may be rather chilly, but the game’s best wives can warm the Dragonborn’s heart. Out of the 66 total marriage candidates, there are 30 female characters that players can romance, regardless of their in-game gender or race. As such, there are plenty of options for anyone to explore – but 10 in particular stand out as the best wives in Skyrim, thanks to their unique personalities, captivating backstories, and specific gameplay advantages.Unfortunately, Skyrim‘s age becomes quite apparent when examining the romance system. By modern standards, it’s rather lackluster; oftentimes, spouses can feel less like a meaningful companion and more like a mere source of money and meals. Counterintuitively, one of the ways that Elder Scrolls 6 could fix marriage is divorce, a feature long missing from Skyrim – but even if divorce was a possibility, the Dragonborn would still want to keep Skyrim‘s best wives around nonetheless.Related: 10 Rarest Things That Can Happen In Skyrim
