Marriage
A vanilla-friendly household and proximity buff system for Valheim that rewards loyalty, survival, and playing together.
Marriage lets players form Households (family-style groups) that gain shared bonuses when nearby, build long-term bonds over time, and feel the loss when one of their own dies.

- Voluntary Households (marriage-style grouping)
