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.
A couple can live together without being married. But even if they have been together for one, three, 15 or 40 years, and even if they have several children together, they are never automatically married. This means that, if they break up, common-law couples don't have some of the protections married couples have.
