Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

husband = ektemann (we just say mann). In old times they would say husbonde ("house farmer".... originally the meaning was the man that owns the house/farm (head of the family) but no one use this word anymore in a day to day speach. But yeah - it is the origin to the English word husband (and not the way around)

Wife = kone or hustru (kone is more common that the mor old facioned hustru (hustru is a version of husfrue which means "house wife" - U know - the lady of the house)

Spouse = ektefelle.
