I didn't wait until later in the game to get married and I choose Vorstag, but now I don't like him but I'm having trouble choosing ether to keep him or kill him. If you think I should kill him please post who instead I should marry or stay single.

When in doubt, follow the fox.
I don't know if my experience with Marcurio is typical of all the followers for hire, but when you marry him, you LOSE all the dialogue that made you fall in love with him in the first place.

I married Valdimar once and he's a great spouse. Currently I'm in love with Stenvar, who is the follower for hire that resides in Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm. He has more dialogue than any follower I've ever had. He's so funny. What a big baby!! But again, maybe you would lose that if you married him. I'm all in favor of marrying anyone then having love affairs with anybody I want because of that.

If you want to marry a female character, then the winning vote goes to the least annoying. Whatever the female NPCs say to you is what you'll hear until you want to scream if you marry them. For that reason, Lydia gets my vote. She has no annoying things to say, and she has a nice sounding voice. If only she would wear a dress. sigh.

I'm not an expert on this, but I believe you get one chance at marriage. So if you kill your spouse, that's it.

Malkjar the Malignant enjoys coming home to his wife Sylgja. She's very pleasant to look at, even though she never takes off her work clothes. Kohlar marred Aela. I do NOT recommend it.

Well if you can't stand Vorstag, you're in serious trouble. He's one of the most attractive male spouses in-game and also has unobjectionable marriage dialogue, so you're doomed for a life of singleness if you decide you hate him. Vorstag was my first Skyrim marriage which turned out great as I wanted a Lover's Comfort bonus trailing me wherever I went. My second and third marriages to Revyn Sadri and Sorax Vinius were shocks after Vorstag. They were all sweet and nice before we tied to knot but afterwards they'd whine about how I should be doing the cooking but all right and don't you DARE ask for another before tomorrow, and they got all offended when I asked if the store had made any money as I was showing a lack of faith in them or something. I should have stuck with Vorstag. In fact, I'm seriously considering using my Live Another Life mod to do an adventurer who was in an unhappy arranged marriage to Sorax and starts adventuring just to get away from the jerk.

Borgakh the Steel Heart is a lovely wife. She only speaks when spoken to, is happy to cook, has a good attitude when inquiring about the store and she can handle herself in battle. Also her default equipment is steel plate or orcish armour so she has a decent AR when home alone.

I remember Janessa being a decent wife as well, but my vote goes to the sexy Orc from Mor Khazgur.

yup. agree with borgakh the steel heart being an amazing spouse. She was my first spouse in the game and loved her so much. I love how they ended up together and she became even sweeter once they were married. she is my favorite female spouse in the game.

Janessa is similar but i didn't like her after we got married because she called my dog stupid. um, excuse me. you just married a talking cat and you're calling the dog stupid!?

Male wise.... Marcurio is the only guy I've married that you don't need a mod for. (caugh caugh Faendal). And you do lose all the dialog he says randomly in caves and such but he's super sweet. Always calling you Love and never giving you sass or lip about anything. "Hello my love. Back from adventuring?"

Ysolda has been a wonderful spouse for me. Easy on the eyes, beautiful voice. . .though she REALLY needs to stop calling my dog "stupid."

I'd have to say Mjoll the Lioness. Just because she's essential and so you don't have to worry about her dying off. Also she's not annoying or hard on the eyes, and can even kick my ass in battle which is saying something. Of course there is the occasional glitch or bug, but still.

Not annoying being a matter of perspective, of course. :beermug: I wonder, does she still tell of her tales of growing up, and adventuring, and Grimsever, and not being a sell-sword, at the diner table? I can imagine how the conversation would flow were I to ask her to cook something for me... "Here, this is fresh. I'll have something even better for you tomorrow. I've missed cooking, it is so glorious! My mother taught me how to cook horker stew when I was five, can you believe it? My father did not approve, but I never sold stew for a profit. Never.
 
Wildroses - Ah yes, forgot about Aerin. I just stealth killed him and no more worries. Of course he's weak enough you could just let him get killed by a stray dragon or something too. That was my original plan but.. Eh. Didn't work out that way. lol

Kohlar the Unkilled - You have a certain point there. But as you said it is perspective. I'm sorta used to that type of thing with certain followers and so I've learned to tune a majority of it out. :eek: Besides the dialogue is worth it to me to have an essential NPC at my side. Gets stressful having to worry about losing your follower or wife with a stray Fireball spell you know? :/

I like Marcurio because he is the only one that has dialogue that involves the kids. But apart from him I have previously married: Benor (don't judge me, it was my first playthrough) and Farkas (he is my first love).

My current character has had Valdimar with her from the beginning and so I think she will eventually marry him (even though she is level 83) after she is done being all evil and stuff. My Male argonian naturally married Shahvee from the docks at Windhelm. She is lovely and is always happy to see him.

I tend to laugh at Mjoll's expense, but don't get me wrong. I find Mjoll to be as enjoyable and refreshing as the Skyrim snow, and have used her as a follower with every playthrough. She has an unparalleled lust for battle. :beermug: She would've made a good wife for my current Nord, Malkjar, but Malkjar has already taken Sylgja. A pretty face, but not a warrior.
