Hades didn't, but Eros caused Hades to love Persephone, and after affirming that this was okay with Zeus, Hades took her to be his wife (it was not told to Persephone or her mother Demeter that Hades would be her husband).

Who was Persephones husband and how did she come to be with him?
Hades is Persephone's husband. Persephone was promised to Hades as his bride, by her father Zeus. But Zeus neglected to inform both Persephone and her mother Demeter of this arrangement. It was Greek tradition for the husband to claim his new bride and carry her away to live at his home.. so this is exactly what Hades did. He burst forth from the Underworld to claim Persephone; but to Persephone she had no idea what was happening and it turned into an abduction. She was horribly upset for quite some time, but I do believe she warmed up to him after a while and has come to love him as her husband.

What is a myth about Hades?
Here's a well known myth about Hades: Hades was the God of the dead, and lived in the underworld. Because of this, he was feared, and getting a wife was a difficult task to do. After all, who would want to live in a world where there was no sun, and not a living soul to be seen? Hades became incredibly lonely, and began becoming desperate for companionship. Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and helped her mother flourish the Earth for men all year round. It was by chance that Hades saw Persephone and fell in love with her instantly. To ensure that the marriage would not be argued with, Hades asked Zeus (the king of the gods) to have Persephone as his wife. Zeus, fearing wrath from either side, merely winked at Hades. Hades reasoned that because Zeus never said he couldn't, decided it was alright to take Persephone down to his home, and one day, when Demeter wasn't watching, Hades ripped the ground open and took her down. A few hours later, Demeter was looking for Persephone frantically; it wasn't like her child to run away. She asked every god and goddess there was, but none of them had seen what had happened. Meanwhile, Persephone was terrified, the only living soul was Hades, a scary man who had taken her away from sunlight, and the poor child felt so lonely. She walked all through the underworld, avoiding Hades, and eventually, finding a garden. There was a gardener there, spirit yes, but kind and caring. He offered Persephone twelve pomegranate seeds, after all, the poor girl must be hungry, and she was. So not to seem rude, Persephone only took half of the seeds, and ate them hungrily, wondering when her mother would come for her. After talking to Apollo, the sun god, Demeter realized what happened, and went to Zeus, demanding the realise of the child, who was, after all, Zeus' own flesh and blood. The problem was that Hades was also Zeus' older brother, and because of this, refused to interfere. Demeter became distraught, and neglected the earth, to busy morning for Persephone. Eventually, Mankind faced extinction, and Zeus ordered Hades to release Persephone. Hades shrugged and smiled, saying that Persephone had already eaten food form the dead, and therefor, must stay with the dead. Zeus ruled that because Persephone only ate half the seeds offered, she must only stay with Hades for half a year, the other half she could do as she pleased. From then on, fall and winter was when Persephone left, and Demeter mourns for her. In the spring and summer, she is reunited with her mother, and the Earth prospers.

At first she was. She was very upset, scared, and miserable. But I do believe she has come to love her husband once she got over the initial 'being kidnapped' thing.

What Olympian was upset when winter came to earth?
No, Zeus did not make winter come when he was upset. When Persephone goes to the underworld for six months each year fall and winter come. The Greeks told the story of Demeter and her daughter Persephone to explain the seasons. Persephone was stolen away by the god Hades to be his queen in the underworld. Demeter, goddess of growing things, was so sad that she neglected her duties and everything died. Eventually Zeus decreed that Persephone could return to her mother if she had eaten nothing whilst in the underworld. Unfortunately she had eaten six pomegranate seeds, so Zeus said Persephone should spend six months with Hades and six months with Demeter. Thus when Persephone returns, Demeter is happy and it is spring and things start to grow, but when she returns to Hades, the winter comes.
Does Hades have a wife?
Yes, Hades has a wife named Persephone (pronounced Per-SE-foh-nee), daughter of Demeter (goddess of the harvest, one of the 12 olympians) was the goddess of Springtime. She would dance through the meadows, and was very pretty. Meanwhile, Hades was watching her from underground, watching her play and dance amongst the flowers. One day, he decided that she must come live with him. A large hole opened in the ground, and Persephone was swallowed into the ground. Hades welcomed her into his realm, but she hated not being amongst spring and flowers. Above land, Demeter was sick with worry. The plants died, and the crops failed. Persephone begged to go above ground, and finally Hades agreed. But first, he offered her a pomegranate. She took it, not thinking, and ate 6 seeds. But then, it was too late. If you eat food in the Underworld, you must stay there. Zeus was angry, naturally, and wanted Persephone to come back above. But Hades showed the proof of her having eaten pomegranate seeds. Finally, there was a compromise. For six months of the year, one for each seed, Persephone would stay with Hades. Then she would go above ground. This is the ancient greeks' explanation for the seasons. When Persephone is underground, Demeter is sad, and the crops die, and flowers wither. In Spring, when Persephone comes back, everything is well.
