And then there is the word 'Partner'. Words like Husband and Wife are semi-outlawed (discourage) because they point too much towards sex distinction. Oops! I mean gender distinction!
Their mis-use of language is Word Sorcery ... and the casting of spells to daze the mind. But the good news is that this bit of Black Magic is not working out as well as it used to.
The best thing to do is to never use 'their words'. Never misuse the word 'gender'. Always use husband and wife, not my partner (unless you are a cowboy or cowgirl with a friendly greeting ... Howdy Partner!). And so on.
I am, for example, loathe to use 'vaccine'. I much prefer Death Jab or the like.
I do appreciate the word "partner" when someone literally means "we are living together / de-facto but not legally married", which is more common these days. Or, "we are long-term 'dating' (sleeping together) but haven't decided if we'll move in together yet". But I prefer the word "spouse" (or just husband/wife, if being specific) for someone who is actually married.
Interesting ... and not something a long time Christian person would immediately think of. And to that person the word 'partner' in your usage would be less than half a marriage, and indeed ... a counterfeit of marriage. But then again, one would suppose that this kind of distinction is apt to be and/or would be lost on those who are lost to a practice of contemporary hedonism.
