What is the origin of the idiom "starter marriage" and when to use it?
The phrase is thought to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century, as a way to describe a first marriage that is relatively short-lived and ends in divorce. It can be used to describe a pattern where individuals have multiple marriages over their lifetime, with their first one being seen as the first experience.
