How did hades and Persephone become a couple?

How did Hades and his wife get married?
Hades' wife Persephone was tricked into marrying him. When she fell into a hole that led to the underworld, she remembered what her mother (Demeter, goddess of agriculture) had told her; never eat anything in the underworld. When Demeter couldn't find her daughter, she was crestfallen and depressed, searching for Persephone each day. Finally after a few months, Hades hated to see Persephone look so sad, so he offered her a deal; if she ate 3 - 4 pomegranate seeds, he would let her go. Forgetting what her mother told her, Persephone agreed to the deal. When Hades let Persephone out of the underworld, Demeter was rejoicing with glee until Persephone told her about the seeds. Demeter immediately changed from happiness to sadness, because since Persephone ate the 4 seeds, she would have to live as Hades' wife in the underworld for 4 months. This Greek tale explains why we have the season of winter. Hope this helped!

Why Pluto take Persephone to his kingdom in the Greek mythology?
At the time of Persephone's abduction the Olympians were at the beginning of their reign, and every goddess and god were seeking to stabilize their power. One afternoon, Aphrodite and Eros were sitting and looking at the evening sky. Aphrodite was telling Eros that two thirds of the universe are hers to impose her love on whoever she will, but she wasn't happy with the fact that Hades' underworld was unreachable for her. At that moment, Aphrodite saw Hades ride on his chariot and she thought that this was her chance to spread her influence into the underworld. Looking down at the fields, she saw Athene, Hestia, Artemis (these three goddesses are sworn to virginity), and Persephone picking flowers. She thought, "If I leave that girl (Persephone) just like that she will no doubt be influenced by her virgin friends and take the vow of eternal virginity".
And so, Aphrodite had Eros shoot an arrow at Hades (pluto) to make him fall in love with Persephone, and no matter what Hades did, he couldn't get Persephone out of his head, that's why he abducted her.
