Synonyms Matrimonial, Connubial, Nuptial, Conjugal, Hymeneal, Marital. Matrimonial, connubial, and conjugal, like matrimony, relate to the married state. Nuptial and hymeneal are more suggestive of the act of marriage or that which is in close connection with it. Connubial suggests the fact that marriage is the union of persons of opposite sexes. Conjugal primarily means belonging to a spouse, and secondarily belonging to the state of spouses—that is, matrimony: as, conjugal felicity, responsibility, obligations, rights. Marital means, specifically, belonging to a husband, but is also used with reference to the married state in general.
