Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Romance and Marriage Guide

How to Get Married in SoS: A Wonderful Life

To get married in A Wonderful Life, players will need to build a relationship with one of eight eligible single people in Forgotten Valley. It is essential to note that players must be engaged by the end of the first year; otherwise, the game will not progress. Marriage and having a child are key mechanics in the game and play a significant role in story progression.

Unlike previous games, A Wonderful Life has a more straightforward marriage process. Players will automatically get married at the end of year one during the montage cutscene. There are no dresses or ceremonies to plan; instead, the main character and their fiancée have a private ceremony by the Goddess Pond.

How To Have a Baby in SoS: A Wonderful Life

Starting in Chapter 2, Branching, players will now have a child to take care of. Players can pick the gender of the child during the wedding ceremony, when the player and their partner talk about future children.

Here's a brief overview of how to care for your child in each year:

Caring for Your Toddler in Year 2

Durin Chapter 2, players will need to care for their toddlers. The child will appear to be around two or three and can communicate needs through basic sentences. Depending on who the player marries, the toddler will also have specific preset skills and interests.

To influence these interests and expand your child's future, it is essential to purchase toys from Van and put them in the toybox in the house on the farmstead. Players will also need to pick up and carry their child around the town, introducing them to different people and exposing them to work around the farm.

Caring for Your Child in Year 3

In Chapter 3, Blessings, the player's child will age to around five or six years old. At this time, the child can no longer be picked up and begins to show personality traits unique to their interests.

Caring for Your Child in Year 4

In Year 4, Blooming, the player's child will age into a teen. A cutscene in the winter-to-spring montage will play out based on their highest interest. The player's child is now on the path that will decide their future in A Wonderful Life, and there is little the player will be able to do to create a change.

At this point, the bond built in earlier chapters will become particularly important, as it determines the type of relationship possible with now grumpy teenager. The player's child will be more independent but more receptive to a wide variety of gifts. They will also share insight on their interests and share more vulnerable thoughts with their parents.
