About one in every six non-noble [[immigration|migrants]] to your fortress will be '''married'''. Married dwarves will sleep in the same [[bed]], share the same account (if the [[dwarven economy]] is in effect), and pop out [[children|babies]] like rabbits.  Spouses also share [[dining room]]s, [[statue garden]]s, and [[zoo]]s, which means that whenever a room of that type is assigned to a dwarf, it is also assigned to that dwarf's spouse. Spouses do not share [[office]]s or [[tomb]]s.

Certain [[noble]]s also arrive at your fortress with a spouse: the [[Baron]], [[Count]], [[Duke]], and [[King]] each arrive with a consort to whom they are married. Unlike normal married dwarves, noble consorts do not share any rooms, but they still have children; due to the quirk of nobles being exempt from the economy, children born to nobles tend to grow up in abject poverty.

There is no way to quickly determine whether or not a dwarf is married (or who said dwarf's spouse is), though mothers can be identified over time as their children are born. Unlike in later versions, dwarves do not form romantic relationships or get married at your fortress, so your fortress's family trees will only ever be a single level deep (i.e. there will never be grandchildren, uncles, aunts, or cousins).
