“Partner in marriage”, not wife. Typical.

What is a “partner in marriage”? That’s a new one. You’re either a shack-up honey or you’re a wife. Can we just STOP redefining everything?

I think this one is the fault of some very clumsy prose from the article writer. Jane and Jim were husband and wife. They separated in 1986 but never divorced.

Maybe you could have read the whole sentence? She was Henson's partner in marriage AND his partner with the muppets. I don't think they're trying to redefine anything.

With Jim Henson dying prematurely and now his wife going at a relatively young age, doesn’t recommend living as a granola-chewing, tofu-eating, commie indoctrinating lib dim, does it?
