Step 1: Establishing a Relationship

Before walking down the aisle, it's essential to establish a solid foundation with your chosen partner. Follow these steps to establish a meaningful relationship:

1. Becoming Friends: Start by interacting with the person you’re interested in. Engage in conversations, complete tasks or quests for them, and give them appropriate gifts.
2. Confessing Your Love: Once you’ve reached the “Friend” status, you can take the next step by gifting them the Heart Knot. This special item can be obtained in the game and will let your potential partner know about your romantic feelings.

Step 2: Reaching Sweetheart or Lover Status

After confessing your love, continue to nurture your relationship with thoughtful gifts and quality time spent together. Keep an eye on your partner’s friendship meter, aiming to elevate it to either the Sweetheart or Lover status. This level of intimacy is essential before moving forward with a marriage proposal.

Step 3: Purchasing the Engagement Ring

With your bond strengthened, it’s time for the pivotal moment—a marriage proposal. To propose, you’ll need to purchase an Engagement Ring from the Mysterious Man for 2,081 Gols. Although it can be a significant investment, it’s worth every Gol for the life you’ll build together.

Step 4: Proposing and Planning the Wedding

1. The Proposal: Present the Engagement Ring to your partner. If they are your Sweetheart or Lover, they'll accept your proposal.
2. Setting the Date: Once the proposal is accepted, head to the Church of Light to schedule your wedding day. You have the flexibility to cancel or change the date at the desk inside the church if needed.

Remember: The wedding ceremony will cost 3,000 Gols.

Step 5: Hosting the Wedding Ceremony

The big day has arrived! Your wedding will take place at the Church of Light. For a unique flair, you can buy Wedding Clothes and accessories from the souvenir shop. Embrace this joyous occasion as you and your partner exchange vows and start your new life together.

Step 6: Living Happily Ever After

Congratulations on your marriage! Now, as you settle into life as a couple, you might consider expanding your family.

Step 7: Preparing for Parenthood

Deciding to have a baby is an exciting step in any relationship. Here’s how you can prepare for this new chapter:

1. Building Relationship Points: Ensure that your relationship with your spouse reaches at least 900 points, positioning your partner as either your Lover or Soulmate.
2. Getting a Crib: Purchase and place an empty crib in your Workshop to get ready for your future child.

Step 8: Having a Baby

Once you’re ready and have met the prerequisites:

1. Talking to Your Spouse: Initiate a conversation with your spouse about having a baby.
2. Preparing for Arrival: Pregnancy in My Time At Sandrock lasts for two in-game weeks. Use this time to prepare and cherish the anticipation.
3. Welcoming Your Baby: After two weeks, your baby will be born. You’ll get the joyous opportunity to choose your baby’s name and what they will call you.

Step 9: Adopting a Baby

If you prefer to adopt a child instead, the process is just as fulfilling:

1. Reaching 900 Relationship Points: Ensure your relationship with your spouse is secure, with at least 900 points.
2. Submitting an Adoption Request: Visit the Church of Light and submit your request at the desk inside.
3. Preparing for Arrival: Much like pregnancy, adoption takes two weeks. Ensure you have a crib placed in your Workshop.
4. Welcoming Your Adopted Baby: Once the waiting period is over, you’ll be able to welcome your new child into your family.

Step 10: Raising a Family

Having a child, whether by birth or adoption, adds a new dynamic to your life in My Time At Sandrock. From playing with your child to watching them grow, the experience enriches your gameplay. Remember, you can have up to two children in the game, making your family complete.

Step 11: Navigating Relationship Challenges

While we hope your virtual marriage flourishes, the game accounts for the complexities of relationships. If, unfortunately, things don’t work out:

1. Initiating a Divorce: To divorce, you'll need to gift your spouse a Broken Mirror, which can be purchased from the Mysterious Man for 20,000 Gols. This will result in your partner leaving the Workshop and returning to their original place.
2. Moving Forward: Remember that while divorce is irreversible, you have the option to rebuild your relationship and remarry if you choose to mend the bond.

While navigating a divorce can be challenging, being open to reconciliation and working through relationship issues can lead to a stronger partnership in the future.
