The first records of conjugal come from the 1500s. It comes from the Latin 肠辞苍箩耻驳腻濒颈蝉, from conjunx, meaning 鈥渨ife鈥 or 鈥渉usband.鈥 Conjunx comes from the Latin verb conjungere, meaning 鈥渢o unite.鈥

Conjugal is generally used to describe any situation related to married people. For example, it is used in the phrase conjugal family, meaning 鈥渁 family composed of married parents and their children鈥 (the term is synonymous with nuclear family). It is used in some phrases in much the same way as the word marital would be, such as conjugal bliss and conjugal vows.

The conjugal in conjugal visit still refers to marriage鈥conjugal visits are typically reserved for married partners. However, due to the meaning of the term, conjugal has become associated with sex, such as in phrases like conjugal relations.
