Although there is something to be said about the defanged passion of the term partner. And not that husband or girlfriend or whatever innately implies passion, but rather I think we need a new word that gets us closer to one another, or several others. Something in between lover (which feels very transient) and partner (which feels very technical) — let us invoke Dionysus
