When people get comfortable with each other they start using terms of endearment.

i get that, but it seems like there's terms of endearment that are specific to marriage, which i just kind of find odd

Honey is a bit of a dated term, though. I don't think many new or younger couples refer to each other as "honey". Go back 40 or so years, and you'd see it a lot.

I've got literally dozens of nicknames I use for my wife. Honey isn't one of them.

This.

Never called a partner or mine--serious or otherwise--honey.

I've been called honey before. It's fucking weird as all hell.

endearments are not something a couple should really think about
it should be natural

I don't see the point in marriage in the first place, so I probably can't offer any insight.

What spawned this particular thread by the way?

Did you just happen to hear your dad calling your mom "honey" and then start thinking about it?

I call my girlfriend "Honey" through texts, and sometimes when we're together, but it's sort of a joking thing.
