Well, technically in Canada after a year of co-habitating you're common-law spouses anyways...2 years in most provinces (I looked it up, ha...I am the queen of the internet).
I keep having to point this out to people who say "Oh, my parents aren't really married, they never signed a license, etc..." Well, technically, according to the gov't, if you live together long enough it's just like being married.
However, things get sticky when it comes to asset division.
Anyways, I wouldn't want to live with my future spouse for very long. I figure if you're gonna get married, you should do it sooner rather than later. I'm not a big believer in long engagements, etc. That said...I don't plan on getting married for some time. Would I live with a romantic partner in the meantime? Probably not...I like my space.
