Although I'm not certain it's the best choice here, you may want to consider the word «ruS» ("bond").
This is an interesting suggestion.. All these years, without knowing why, I was under the impression that {ruS} could apply only to "bonds of the chemical kind" e.g. bonds between atoms. But after reading the paq'batlh examples, I realize that perhaps the word {ruS} *could* be used to describe the bond existing between a man and a woman, in a sentimental/sexual relationship. Let alone the fact, that in greek, one of the two words used to say "relationship", is the exact greek translation of the english word "bond". So, seemingly/apparently, as our beloved type-6 verb suffix would say, everything fits together rather nicely.. ~ gha'cher qIj
