Marriage

How to marry, and how to stop being married. Both are bought in the shop.

Buy a Marriage Certificate each. Right-click each other while you are both holding one.

/marry name lets you take their family name, hyphenate the two, or keep your own.

A hyphenated name uses the first part of each.

Married players share one heart total, held as the average.

• At the wedding you are both set to the average of the two. Marrying someone on low hearts costs you.
• After that, anything that moves one of you moves both.
• A death costs 3 hearts, so you lose 1.5 each. The same as one person dying alone.
• A child together gives you 1.5 hearts each. A child with anyone else gives 0.5 each.
• Buying a heart in the shop gives you 0.5 each.

The total is the same as if you were not married. Only who holds it changes.

Standing within 16 blocks of your spouse gives you both Regeneration.

Shared hearts are off. Nothing you do moves them and nothing they do moves you.

Your deaths cost the full 3 hearts, because there is nobody to share them with.

A soulless player cannot have children. See Souls.

Both of you buy Divorce Papers. They are a book and quill with the petition printed in. Each of you fills in your own copy and files it with /divorce while holding it.

The marriage ends when both petitions are in and they agree. There is no accept button. Two documents saying the same thing is the agreement.

• Both of you must file within a couple of minutes of each other.
• Papers are consumed whether the filing is accepted or rejected.
• A rejected filing will tell you every line that was wrong.
• Both petitions must award the same hearts to the same person, and must agree on line 18 and 19.
• Lines 14 and 15 must add up to line 13.
• Each of you is the PETITIONER on your own copy.
• The date of marriage can be your best guess, within ±7 days.

• Capitals do not matter.
• Yes or no: yes, y, true, no, n, false.
• Dates must be spelled out, with no year: October 6, oct 6th, 6 October.
• Lists are separated by commas, in any order. Write none for an empty one.
