In that circumstance they'd be married under common law in very few, mostly low population US states (not sure about the rest of the world). My fiancée and I have been living together since 2003, and every once in a while someone will say we'd be married under common law. But it does require a little more than mere cohabitation, and -- more importantly -- Ohio doesn't have common law marriage ... not anymore, at least.
