unconsummated

/ ʌnˈkɒnsəˌmeɪtɪd /

adjective

Despite increasing diplomatic and military cooperation, “a strategic energy alliance has remained heretofore unconsummated.”

“Unconsummated love affairs are perhaps the most poignant and most remembered of all,” Campion argues.

Loving each other as men and women love but once in a lifetime, their love was destined to be for ever unconsummated.

The lovers, now that in an aery body they must sorrow for unconsummated love, are 'tangled up as the grass patterns are tangled.'

They came waking and crowding to fill out the measure of his unconsummated passion, and they had all one face and one likeness.

The marriage ceremony, therefore, that might otherwise have been expected to take place, thus remained unconsummated.
