What's the difference between partnerspoon and partner? Is it temporary?

There is a difference between a partner and a spouse. In addition to the direct and literal difference in meaning, the difference between them is also reflected in the registration of legal procedures.

"Spouse" is generally interpreted as spouse, and is a legal couple registered in various state institutions. Their relationship conforms to the provisions of the marriage law. Both parties have the obligation and responsibility to maintain marriage after marriage, and their respective rights are protected by law. If the marriage relationship breaks down, it can only be dissolved through legal procedures.

"Partner" is interpreted as a partner, which is a title for cohabitants (same sex, opposite sex) who are not legally registered. At present, not all countries' laws accept same-sex marriage, and there is not much discrimination against heterosexual cohabitation. Therefore, some "comrades" and a considerable number of men and women live together in the form of de facto marriage. They can decide the beginning or end of their relationship without being bound by law, and their children can also apply for and enjoy the same welfare treatment, which is a universally recognized state of life. However, if the relationship breaks down or one party dies, which leads to economic disputes or inheritance problems, neither party can legally protect it.

In many applications and services such as studying abroad, immigration, social security, medical institutions and legal aid. , you will need personal details (fill in the form), one of which is about the marital status of the individual, generally including single (single), married (divorced), de facto (de facto marriage/cohabitation) and separation. This will help the clerk avoid offending the parties in terms of address or other aspects. For example, for married Mr. Chen, his spouse can use the title of Mrs. Chen (Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen); As a partner of Mr. Chen, whether he or she, you should use Mr. X (sir), Miss X (madam) or Ms. X (madam).

In addition to marital partners, partners can also be interpreted as partners, intimate partners and so on. Example:

James is my business partner.
