Cohabitation is an arrangement where two people who are not married live together in a romantic relationship and/or sexually intimate relationship on a long-term or permanent basis.
The term domestic partners is a new name for a living arrangement which has been around for a long time, namely, two unmarried adults who are living together as a family unit. The term domestic partners was first used in Northern California when the City of San Francisco was considering legislation to give benefits and protections to such couples in 1981. The phrase caught on and today it is a legal term of art which is used by some state governments, many local governments, and hundreds of private employers.
