loveless marriage
Affectionless legal bond
A loveless marriage is a marriage in which the partners feel no affection or emotional connection toward each other.
The phrase typically describes unions that continue out of obligation, convenience, or social pressure rather than genuine attachment: They stayed together for the children, but it was a loveless marriage.
The term implies emotional emptiness rather than active hostility.
