I use (and insist others use) "husband". In the UK we have civil partnerships which offer all the same benefits as marriage - and will be converted into marriage in a few years' time - so I think the word helps people get used to the concept.

Add to that, first, it is what we feel about each other. And secondly let's not invent a term when the English language has a perfectly good word for an exclusionary lifelong relationship!
