=== House Kholin ===
Dalinar's relationship with his family is complicated. He idealizes his brother, and, as a younger man, was frequently willing to make sacrifices in Gavilar's favor. However, he also heavily envied him, mostly when it came to Gavilar's wife, [[Navani]], although such moments of envy were often accompanied by intense sense of shame.{{book ref|sa3|26}} His own marriage was significantly worse, as he and [[Evi]] had little in common and even after years together, Dalinar still pined for Navani.{{book ref|sa3|36}} While Dalinar did his duty in marrying Evi and fathering children with her, he could not make himself fall in love with her, which he somewhat regretted.{{book ref|sa3|26}} The cultural barrier between the two would lead to a number of misunderstandings, and while Dalinar sometimes let Evi have her way, he often did so out of frustration rather than genuine affection.{{book ref|sa3|66}}
