conjugality
State of marriage
Conjugality is the state of being married or the quality of the marital relationship.
The word is formal and somewhat rare, appearing mostly in legal, religious, or academic contexts: The court examined the conjugality of their union.
It emphasizes the bond between spouses rather than the ceremony or legal status.
