1. 1

    Connubial is an old-fashioned, adjective about married life — the shared life of a husband and wife. You will almost always meet it in the set phrase “connubial bliss,” a slightly smiling way to say the happiness of being married. Newspapers and novels use it; friends almost never do in ordinary chat. Though actually, the word itself just means “of marriage”; the “happily” mostly lives in that set phrase. Older writing also uses it in a cooler way, for married duties and married closeness, not only for joy. It is not a word for dating, and not a word for two people who live together without being married. If you simply want “happily married,” say that.

    婚姻的、夫妻的(幾乎只出現在 connubial bliss「婚姻幸福」這類書面說法)

    • "For my part," continued the Duke of Wharton, "I hold that the connubial system of this country is a complete mistake. The only happy marriages I ever heard of are those in some Eastern story I once read, where the king marries a new wife every night, and cuts off her head in the morning."
    • Not gyved with connubial relations, I entered upon my migration entirely isolated, with the exception of a canine quadruped whose mordacious, latrant, lusorious, and venatic qualities, are without parity.
