Hades and Persephone.
In many myths, Hades (the god of the underworld ) loved Persephone. He had so much love for her that he started an earthquake and carried her off into the cold, cruel underworld. Persephone was forced to marry Hades and there on forward she could only visit her mother in summer or spring.
In the myth of Persephone, the climax is when Persephone is abducted by Hades and taken to the Underworld against her will. This event triggers the conflict between Demeter and Hades, leading to the negotiation for Persephone's return.
Hades asked his brother Zeus if he could have Persephone for his bride, to this Zeus agreed without consulting Demeter or Persephone - Hades than took her, and Demeter showed her wrath until she got her daughter back, except Persephone had eaten of the pomegranate and had to return to Hades for half the year, this causes Demeter to make the land cold and barren (i.e. winter). Persephone return brings about spring.
Zeus had promised Hades his daughter Persephone as his wife, Zeus neglected to mention this to Persephone and her mother Demeter; Hades had created a flower for Persephone, and Persephone and her maiden goddess companions found it in exploring a field of flowers, Persephone plucked the flower and Hades thought this a acceptance of his love for her, and took her to his realm where he found out he had kidnapped Persephone (who in some myths isn't at all opposed to being Hades' Queen) and when Demeter ventured into the underworld Hades greeted her and said Persephone was allowed to return if she had not eaten of the food of the underworld - she had, so she spent the winter with Hades and in rest of the year with her mother; it goes differently how long exactly, but winter is the return of the sorrow of Demeter having lost her daughter.
Yes, in some myths Zeus did trick Hades so that he could rescue Persephone from the Underworld. Zeus sent Hermes to retrieve Persephone from Hades, and Hades complied under Zeus' order. This allowed Persephone to return to the surface and be reunited with her mother Demeter.
She had eaten a pomegranate from the underworld which forced her to return.
Hades is Persephone husband.
Persephone was wife of Hades.
In Greek mythology, Hades sets free Persephone from the underground cage, where she was held during her time in the Underworld. This occurs after she spends part of the year with Hades, and her return to the surface world symbolizes the changing seasons. Her freedom signifies the arrival of spring and rebirth, while her descent marks the onset of winter.
