Yes, according to mythology, Cupid married Psyche.
Cupid, the Roman god of love (also known as Eros in Greek mythology), is traditionally portrayed as the son of Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of beauty and love. The story of Cupid and Psyche is a classic allegory that explores themes of love, trust, and jealousy.
Initially, Venus was jealous of Psyche's beauty and tasked Cupid with making her fall in love with a monster. However, Cupid himself fell deeply in love with Psyche and, defying his mother, married her.
The Condition of Their Marriage
A crucial condition of their marriage was that Psyche could never look upon Cupid's face. He would visit her only in darkness. This was to prevent any issues arising from Venus’s continued disapproval and Psyche's mortal status.
Breach of Trust and Subsequent Hardships
Driven by curiosity and the urging of her sisters, Psyche eventually broke this condition, glimpsing Cupid's divine form. This act of betrayal led to Cupid leaving her, and Psyche then had to undertake a series of difficult tasks set by Venus to prove her worth and regain Cupid's love.
Reunion and Immortality
Ultimately, Psyche succeeded in her tasks, proving her love and devotion. Jupiter granted her immortality, allowing her to be reunited with Cupid permanently. Their marriage symbolized the union of love and soul.
