Romance questions please.

[MachineMaiden]

I haven't gotten far at all and I want to lower my expectations if what I imagine will not be implemented hence why i'm asking.
How deep is the romance in this game? Is it like 'where married, okay gonna go back to what I was doing?' or do they live with you and call you pet names and other things.
Also if there a finite list of the male romanceable characters (for female PC) as I'm not sure whom I should focus on if that is something I wish to do (as ppl forget to realize romance IS optional). I did check the wiki but it's hard to pinpoint which chars are romanceable (well to me that is).
If my above questions (well how deep it is and pet name and such) are not currently implemented will they be in the future? I apologize if this has been asked before but thank you very much for the time and information in advanced!

Most adult characters are marriageable regardless of gender. There are a few exceptions, but on the whole, you can marry anyone -- even if they're already married.

I'd say the romance system is a bit of a mixed bag at this point. There are some dialogues (both with your spouse and comments made by the townspeople) acknowledging that you are married and the spouse will talk about things they are doing around the farm. You also can assign your spouse chores and send them out to gather materials. It seems like the spouse stays on the farm unless out gathering for you - I married Melanie Jugg and it looks like her dear old dad is now stuck running the tavern by himself. There are no pet names and outside of the few comments mentioned above, no real conversation about being married, being in a relationship, etc. The dialogue system is pretty shallow at this point, which makes sense given how wide the range of options for marriage is.

You see a little too much here. Except for Fea and Masters - EVERY (even the already married) Characters are romancable!! The only rule is that they have to be at least 20y old (you could even marry someone tripple your age tho). BUT there wont be 'romantic' interaction/cutscenes or anything beside the marriage itself, which makes sence. You gonna marry several times if you so chose to because you could marry again when you jump to the next generation yourself or after that. The NPCs create their own children so there will be new romancable characters over time. Dont relay so much on the first one - there will or could be more....

Interesting. Thank you for all the information provided.
Curious how even married people you can marry. Do they stay at your farm to and leave their home then?
Do you think the comments/banter between you and your spouse will be added in the future or do you foresee that it will remain as it?
While I find it endearing, it's not make or break for me just things I would like to see implemented is all.

No idea if they'll add more. I don't think it's any worse than any other 5 things spouses say in any other farm sim (though this isn't really a farm sim IMO). They did add date dialogue for each distinct location yesterday, but I haven't seen it yet, so things are being added. It's a slow addition of things, and I think they're focusing on bugs since it has only been out like two weeks. Kudos to the programmers powering through it all.
And yes, they leave their home and stay at your farm.

Your spouse will live at your farm, regardless of previous status.

They will stay at your farm unless you send them on a gathering mission or have them work at one of your businesses.

the marriage unfortunately is pretty bad.. no new dialouge from what ive experienced. At least in elnea kingdom (a game with also a generations theme) your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend etc have romantic dialouge
