Preferred term

couple identity  

Definition(s)

  • As close relationships progress over time, relationship partners may develop a couple identity and begin thinking of themselves as part of a couple rather than as separate individuals. Couple identity is at least somewhat consciously accessible, involving a sense of overlap with one's partner and the perception of the self and partner as a team or collective unit. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Couple Identity]
