Question about Marriage in Stardew Valley

Very much so; you don't even need to give anyone a bouquet, though if you don't, their heart level maxes out at 8.

It's hard to play as completely uninvolved even so; for mariagables, the event at 8 hearts often imply the villager feels a romantic or deeper connection, but doesn't require you to do anything about it but be a good friend; the 10 heart events are much more romantic in tone, and the 14 heart events are only even possible for spouses.

I guess it depends on if you're someone who wants to complete everything or not
Since I think you need all the stardrops :stardrop: to reach perfection, and one of them comes from your spouse/roommate. But besides that it's optional :)

Well, if you do decide to pursue marriage, Sebastian leaves his room around 3:00 pm most days. I know a lot of people have trouble reaching him, especially early game when you don't have enough hearts to enter his room :laugh:

Don't feel like you have to if it's really not something you want, though :)

Yeah, there's no need to get married or have children, it's an in-game-achievement. Only if you're trying to reach Perfection,
you'll need a spouse at some point for getting this one Stardrop fruit.
.
In my experience, my farmers eventually start to feel lonely, even if they don't show much interest in a relationship at the beginning of the game. I'm on my sixth game now, and I've never played one without getting married. And only once without having kids. Even though, in the end, it doesn't make much difference whether you have them or not. Have married all the Boys except Shane so far and currently Maru's the spouse. And somehow I want to have a running farm and stable income before getting married, so it usually happens around year 3 or 4... Just do what feels right for you.

We're gonna have to start getting married quicker of all those rumors about the 1.7 update are true, where npc will start to merry each other after year 3 and limit the dating pool

I strongly doubt that the game would change in this manner. Stardew has always been cemented in not letting the player miss out on anything; there are only two things that can be "missed", and neither one makes a big difference. You can always do the quest later, come back the next year, and generally play the game at your own pace. When something turns out to be extremely difficult, sooner or later an optional workaround is provided.
