How Romance and Marriage Work in Sun Haven
Romance in Sun Haven isn’t limited by gender; your character can romance any eligible NPC regardless of their gender identity. All characters have a heart bar that increases over time to help you gauge your friendshipāand, eventually, your romance.
Building Relationships
There are three primary ways to improve your relationships in Sun Haven:
- daily conversations
- giving gifts
- completing character quests
During conversations, you’ll sometimes be prompted to choose between two different responses. One will increase your relationship, while an incorrect response may hurt your chances of winning their affection. Don’t worry; it’s generally pretty obvious which response they’ll prefer.
You can also give gifts once per day. While loved gifts will earn you more hearts, disliked gifts don’t damage your progress; they just don’t help it either.
Completing a character’s quests and requests will also help you cultivate a positive relationship with them.
Dates and Dating
Once you reach a high enough level of hearts with an eligible NPC, they’ll ask you on a date. In our experience, this usually happens once you reach a full 10 hearts.
After a successful first date, you will unlock additional hearts for your new partner, up to 15 total. You’ll need to keep going on dates and raising your friendship level before you can get married.
Marriage
Marriage becomes available once you reach 15 hearts with your chosen partner. By this point, they will likely have brought up the idea of marriage, which signals it’s time to propose.
In Sun Haven, proposing requires gifting the NPC an Engagement Ring. This can be purchased from Bernard in the Town Hall for 100 Community Tokens.

Nathaniel
Nathaniel is the town’s stern protector and Captain of the Guard. While he initially comes across as tough and a bit intimidating, his tendency towards absent-mindedness makes him unintentionally hilarious.
