Just say partner. It's a better description of what a marriage should be AND it's gender neutral

What's wrong with spouse? Have people forgotten that thesaurus exist? Spouse is already gender neutral, literally means married partner, and doesn't sound like a corporate speak buzzword to make the drones feel like family.

Spouse sounds dumb.

What corporation calls their employees partners?
