I love the term beta marriage and wished we had used it in The New I Do: Reshaping Marriage for Skeptics, Realists and Rebels — a reminder that, yes, I am too old to have beta be the first thing that comes to mind when I think of what's new and uncharted — instead of using the name that caused
a similar kerfuffle a decade or so ago, a starter marriage.
