Hades' wife is the beautiful Persephone. She is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the grain.
She stays with Hades in Tartarus, the underworld, for a fourth of the year. The rest of the time, she is with her mother. This joint-custody was decided by Zeus in the court of the gods. Originally, Persephone was going to be separated from Hades entirely, but then Persephone violated the terms (she would be returned to her mother if she had consumed none of the Food Of The Dead). She had eaten three pomegranate seeds out of the twelve. So, during those months, Demeter refuses to do any work and grieves for her daughter, which results in the season of winter - where no plants grow.
