A man brings certain things into a relationship and a woman brings certain things into a relationship. Together those things should compliment. If you don't want to use the normal terms as boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, then I prefer to use couple or significant other.

I would counter and say that transferring from legalese 'domestic partner' / 'partner' evolved from conservative wealth (Herschel Walker) who attempt to keep their assets from the people they at one time were intimate with and are now out of favor.
