* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' and the ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'' spinoff series:
** ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife A Wonderful Life]]'' (and AWL: Special Edition) requires you to betroth a girl and have a baby in order to advance the story and arbitrarily has the bachelorette with the highest affection towards you propose to you, if you aren't already engaged at the cutoff point. If you haven't gone after one girl specifically, you'll mostly likely get Celia to propose. You get a NonStandardGameOver if you say "no".
** In the other games, wives raise your overall rating and unlock various items and events. (In the older games, you would get a failing evaluation without a wife.)
** If you don't marry in ''VideoGame/RuneFactory2'', then you can't play as your child and finish the game. Luckily, three of the prospective bachelorettes will never marry anyone but you and you have a few years to choose from all of them. However, the game does have a preferred marriage and none-too-subtly assaults you with images of FirstGirlWins from the ''opening sequence'' onwards.
** In ''VideoGame/RuneFactory3'', the higher your friendship/love points with a villager, the longer they'll stay with you when in the dungeons (At the lowest level, they'll bail out after 5PM, then 8, then Midnight). Your wife will stick with you no matter how long you stay in a dungeon (VERY helpful when slogging through the last couple of {{Bonus Dungeon}}s).

* ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'':
** In older games, being married raises your overall farm rating and unlock various items and events, including [[AndYourRewardIsParenthood the ability to have a child]]. (You would get a failing evaluation without a wife.) Even in newer games without an evaluation that allow endless gameplay, you're strongly encouraged to move towards marrying, and doing so often gets some bonus assistance from the spouse.
** ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAWonderfulLife'' (and ''Another Wonderful Life'' and ''Special Edition'') requires you to betroth a girl (or guy) and have a baby in order to advance the story. If you haven't proposed by the end of the first year, the game has the bachelorette with the highest affection towards you come and propose to you, with a NonStandardGameOver if you say "no". (If you haven't gone after one girl specifically, you'll mostly likely get Celia to propose.)
** ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsAWonderfulLife'' also requires you to marry to avoid a NonStandardGameOver, though it can be any of the [[EveryoneIsBi eight eligible bachelors and bachelorettes]].

A subtrope of DeusSexMachina. Can involve PowerPerversionPotential. A weaponized verson of ThePowerOfLove, ThePowerOfFriendship, and ThePowerOfLust. May or may not be IntimateHealing. The opposite of VirginPower. Often used with YouLoseAtZeroTrust. When being TheCasanova is more effective than being a DoggedNiceGuy, that's MoreFriendsMoreBenefits. Compare OptionalSexualEncounter.

* In ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', befriending the local [=NPCs=] can net nice goodies, like new crafting recipes or goods. Once you marry someone, they'll give you gifts ''much'' more frequently and occasionally do chores such as fixing broken fences or watering crops for you. Kissing your spouse removes the negative effects of your energy reaching zero. You also can't reach [[HundredPercentCompletion perfection]] without marrying someone and reaching the full 14 hearts with them.[[/folder]]

it's possible to date Tang before maxing out her heart meter

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', {{Friendship Moment}}s often reward the MC with powerful cards, and successfully dating someone after maxing out their heart meter also gives them the Smitten status, which increases all Social Skill gains by 1 for three months. Additionally, going out on dates reduces the MC's stress.
