Parnter

This is a common misspelling of 'partner,' kept here as a pointer to the correct term. 'Partner' is a widely used gender-neutral word for a significant other, romantic companion, or spouse. Many LGBTQ+ people favor it because it does not presuppose the gender of either person in the relationship, and because it treats same-sex and different-sex relationships with the same language. It works across dating, long-term commitment, and marriage, and it has also become common among people of any orientation who prefer a term free of assumptions. For the full entry, see 'partner.'
