In singleplayer mode, '''Marriage''' is possible only with a [[Villagers|villager]] who is marked as "single" in the Social tab.

In singleplayer mode, '''Marriage''' is possible only with a [[Villagers|villager]] who is marked as "single" in the Social tab. The player can marry any single [[Villagers|villager]], regardless of gender. This fact may lead one to believe that every possible available partner is bisexual, however examining the game’s code reveals otherwise. Every [[Villagers|villager]] tagged with the “isSingle” variable inhabits a quantum state of simultaneously straight and gay. This superposition is then collapsed upon marriage with the player into their respective sexuality.

Before proposing marriage, the player needs to earn 10 hearts of [[friendship]] with their intended partner, which requires them to have first given a [[bouquet]] at 8 hearts of friendship.  They will also need to [[Carpenter's Shop#House Upgrades|upgrade]] the [[farmhouse]] at least once and have access to the [[The Beach#Tide Pools|Tide Pool]] area of [[The Beach]]. The lost book ''[[Lost Books#Marriage Guide for Farmers|Marriage Guide for Farmers]]'' also explains this process.
