Once [[Marriage|married]], Sam will move into the [[farmhouse]] with you. Like other marriage candidates, he will add his own room off to the side of the bedroom, which resembles his [[old room]] with instruments and a computer. He also builds a half pipe in the backyard to continue practicing skateboarding tricks.

{{Quote|"Baby, I was just gunna write you a song on the guitar. But now you're here an I feel relaxed."}}
Sam spends a lot of time in married life chilling inside the house, most often in the kitchen. While he will help around the farm sometimes, he can also make the excuse of feeling "lazy today", and says he'll help out another day. He also quits his job at [[Joja Mart]], which he's happy about.
Though he may not work much, Sam is very affectionate, excitedly asking you about your day, or commenting that you look tired and offering to give you a massage that tonight. He also likes to refer to you as "baby" or "honey". While he still makes mention of playing his guitar, he tells you at some point that he has no interest in being a musician anymore, and is a "family man" now.
Near the start of Winter, he says:

...then tells you not to worry, because he'll take care of it. This contradicts his usually carefree and lazy traits, showing an oddly helpful handyman side of his character.

He also seems to be more self aware of his old ways of playing jokes on people. The day before the [[Luau]] he will suggest it would be funny to put something nasty in the soup, then quickly apologizes. If you speak to him at the festival the next day, he'll admit (sulking) that it wouldn't have been very nice to put something gross in the soup.

Once married, if you ask him to dance at the [[Flower Dance]], he will try to make excuses to get out of it, saying that he thought that since you two are married now he wouldn't have to wear that "dorky suit" anymore, but will relent dance with you anyway.
On some days (usually Friday) he will go into town to visit his family for the day, then spend some time with Sebastian and Abigail at the bar like he used to prior to marriage. He expresses a lot of worry for his younger brother [[Vincent]] and will tell you that seeing his family is a little surreal now because everything seems more formal than it used to. Even so, he says the only thing he really misses about living at his parent's house was his moms [[Crispy Bass|fish casserole]]

Sometimes after visiting his family or the saloon, he will come home in a sour mood, and complain that the house is dirty.

Sam will often ask about how your day was, and will tell you about his as well. It usually involves him relaxing, "noodling" on his guitar, reading comic books, and drinking colas.
