Marriage is an important part in Cult of the Lamb. It is unlocked through Doctrines and allows the player to marry specific followers.
In addition, there’s no limit to how many followers one can marry. However, marriage has benefits and side effects. It can be a great tool when used properly, but it can also cause serious damage to your cult.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to marry specific followers in Cult of the Lamb and how to properly utilize marriage to ensure your cult thrives while avoiding its side effects
Why You Should Marry Followers
Performing a marriage has two main benefits. First, it raises the faith of the cult by 30.
Second, it increases the loyalty of the specific follower that you are marrying. Therefore, marriage is a great way to main loyal followers and high faith levels.
Also, you can kiss your partner, which is like blessing them twice a day. In short, they gain more loyalty each day.
However, overdoing it results in jealousy among other followers. Have too many spouses and they’ll start getting jealous of each other.
Lastly, keep in mind that other than increasing faith, marriage currently has no other purpose. There are no hidden storylines based on affection, although we can expect something like that to come in future updates.
How to Unlock the Marriage Doctrine
Marriage is unlocked fairly early in the game. It can be found in the 2nd tab of the Law and Order doctrines and is known as the Marriage Doctrine.
To level up your doctrines, you need to collect commandment stones. These are gained from various sources such as leveling up your followers or exploring dungeons.
How to Marry Specific Followers
After unlocking the Marriage Doctrine, head to your temple’s altar. From there, select the ‘Marriage’ option and then choose which specific follower you’d like to marry.
You can marry as many followers as you want. There’s no limit and marrying more than one helps increase your followers’ faith quickly.
However, don’t marry too many, because they’ll start getting jealous. Your partners will not enjoy seeing you others and they may start dissenting.
If something like that happens, consider re-educating your followers.
How to Divorce Followers
There is currently no divorce option in Cult of the Lamb, at least in the traditional sense. The only way to divorce a partner is by choosing to sacrifice them. There’s a guide published on how to sacrifice followers in the game – make sure to check it out.
Sacrificing a partner grants extra bonuses compared to sacrificing a random follower, so there’s some merit to this decision.
In addition, sacrificing is not necessarily the end. There are ways to resurrect followers and bring back your significant other.
Conclusion
Marrying followers in Cult of the Lamb is a great strategy to increase your cult’s faith and loyalty early on. In this guide, we went through everything you need to know before marrying specific followers.
Just be careful not to overdo it with spouses and you should be fine. And also make sure to check out the previous article with 80+ funny cult name suggestions for your cult.
