Lovership

A relationship between lovers, to distinguish it from the broader term "relationship", which is not limited to romantic usages and could be ambiguous in some contexts. It is a parallel to the word “friendship”, as well as numerous fanfiction pairing names ending in -ship.

1. "Hey Jill, I must be doing something right, my likership just hit 100."

2. "We need to talk to our I.T. department about increasing our likership, our competition's Facebook page now has a larger likership than ours."
