Is it really any different than many things we as individuals call ourselves.
We have occupation titles but that does not mean that each of us that have the same title does the same job or even has the same responsibilities.
Do those of us who call ourselves christians share the exact same beliefs of religion and what is right, wrong or acceptable according to our various religions.
Do those of us who affiliate ourselves with a political party believe in all the same things as others in that same political party.
and speaking of marraige, although it is understood what it means publicly to be husband and wife, that does not mean that every marraige is the same. There is much variation depending on upbringing, beliefs, etc., on how a husband and wife treat each other, who is in charge in the relationship, who works, who raises the kids, and so on.
