A Catholic University Wants Students To Avoid Saying ‘Husband’ And ‘Wife’A language guide posted by a Catholic university suggests that students use “spouse” or “significant other” instead of “husband” and “wife,” according to a Thursday report.The University of Dayton in Ohio features the guide on the Women’s Center section of its site, reported The College Fix.
