A simple God of Shepard, who is at the same time one of the princes of the Anunna, is a beautiful God who managed to seduce Ishtar and have her hand in marriage after much persistence and attempting to win her heart. Ultimately though, when his wife was stuck in the Underworld, and she searched for a replacement for her in the dreary halls below the world, Tammuz had the nerve to be asleep and not in a constant state of mourning, and Ishtar exchanged her husband for herself in the Underworld.

Tammuz sister saved him, and took half the year worth of Ishtar's imprisonment on herself to allow her brother to return to the world for half the year. The effect on their marriage that this has had is unknown, though if Ishtar's attempts at seducing Gilgamesh are of any indication, things may not be going so well. Although, that is understandable after throwing your spouse into the depths of the Underworld.
