I got together with my now wife at 20. We didn't get married until we needed to for a visa. Getting married didn't change anything, and we acknowledged that we were a couple for good well before then, had kids. It helps that the country we're in recognizes defacto relationships so there was no incentive.

Which country? I have only heard about this happening in Brazil

New Zealand https://www.justice.govt.nz/family/separation-divorce/divide...

NZ also doesn't have any tax benefits for being married
