neutral  Giovanni Pizzati (X): Maybe coniugalis? Legal for Neolatin Countries, but in Anglophone Countries they can understand a fig!

neutral  WendellR: It isn't true that you "never" translate them; there are often english equivalents. "a.c." in EN = about zero//not my point. It isn't the bible but it's a good index of use. Of course u can cite '1000s' w/Latin, and I can cite 1000s without? And so what?

agree  texjax DDS PhD: Io terrei in considerazione il parere di una persona specializzata nel campo. A me sembra un documento legale, destinato ad avvocati, che il latino dovrebbero conoscerlo. http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Latin-Lawyers-Russ-Versteeg/...

  -> ti ringrazio, io ne sono certa, pare infatti che i legali anglofoni conoscano bene il latino e anzi ci tengano a far sapere che lo conoscono

  -> with... friendly affection, Lara!
neutral  WendellR: not wild about conjugal, but the idea is on the right track; marital affection googles well. You could also turn the phrase: their affections became progressively alienated

Affectio coniugalis


Explanation:
That's the Latin correct form, but latin languages and English use affectio conjugalis. Anyway the "s" in the end should remain.
Latin became Dog Latin with time, maybe it's one case of that?
