For one reason or another, this "married" couple just never legally tied the knot. Maybe one of them is an immortal vampire without Undead Tax Exemption. Maybe there were legal issues precluding an official ceremony/registration. Maybe one didn't want to get married but gradually ended up in a situation similar to it due to external circumstances. Maybe they always meant to but just never got around to it. Regardless of the reason, they are, for all intent and purposes, a married couple. They may have children together or even be referred to as married, but they never got anything formalized. This doesn't mean that the couple never gets married; just that they go a very long time without doing so and little actually changes after the wedding. Many stories even end with the two getting officially married in a ceremony. The specific term "common law" is unlikely to be used today unless the story is historical, as the concept was born from a time when there was more stigma against unmarried cohabitation, or a question of legal status comes up, as some jurisdictions still legally recognize "common law marriages" while others don't (Check yours before moving in or separating!). A "common law marriage" in 1958 would simply be a "long-term relationship" today. In fact, nowadays couples outside conservative cultures are expected to live together before tying the knot, to be sure their day-to-day lifestyles are compatible. A modern-day couple would only fall under this trope if they specifically choose not to marry or are legally unable to do so, such as if they're LGBT in a conservative country, or if it's a fantasy setting and one partner isn't human or biologically alive—vampire, android, alien, etc.—and thus they're not legally recognized as a person (though if such pairings are common, fighting for legal recognition could be a plot of its own). See Happily Married. Metaphorical Marriage represents a wedding-like moment that however is not an official wedding. It may result from a "Not Really Married" Plot. It may result in a Heroic Bastard. For more information, see the Wikipedia page. |

Adventure Time: Zig-zagged with Jake and Lady Rainicorn. They've been dating since before the series began, are still together five in-series years later by the finale, and in a song Jake once described Lady Rainicorn as "basically my wife." However, they only lived in the same house when they were raising their children—which only took a few weeks. | |

In Dune, Leto Atreides and Jessica are for all intents and purposes married, but she's officially only a bound concubine to keep Leto single for political maneuvering. This is also the case for their son, Paul, and Chani after he is made Emperor of the Known Universe and has to marry Princess Irulan for political reasons. This trope is even invoked by Jessica in the final lines of the novel. | |

Yosho and Airi in Tenchi Muyo! are common law married due to their complicated history. They were classmates at the Galaxy Police Academy and eventually formed a relationship, where Airi became pregnant shortly before Yosho ran away to Earth. They met back up years later when Airi found him, their daughter Minaho in tow, and they got married by common law since Yosho was still officially MIA and their respective planets are bitter rivals so their relationship would be a major political bomb were it to be formalized. | |

In the Gundam Wing sequel novel Frozen Teardrops, Heero and Relena are living together in a nice house on Mars, and are contemplating having a baby. They have had a wedding, but the marriage was not legally binding, because they were denied when they went to get the marriage license, because Heero couldn't produce documentation saying who his father was. When he finally finds that documentation, he suggests to Relena that they go get the legal aspect straightened out, so their eventual children won't have to go through the rigamarole and social stigma that he's had to go through. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, this is what happens with your love interests unless you marry Alistair or Anora. With Leiliana, Zevran, and Morrigan, you never officially marry, but you're still together 10 years later during Dragon Age: Inquisition. In Morrigan's case, the two of you are even raising the child you conceived in the first game. | |

In Beastars, Gosha and Toki, who were Legoshi's grandparents lived together for decades and even had a daughter, but due to laws prohibiting interspecies marriage never were able to tie the knot. Even once those laws were lifted they still couldn't get married due to Gosha being a poisonous komodo dragon and Toki being a wolf, due to the danger he could pose to her due to his natural poison. | |

Steven Universe: The episode "Gem Harvest" reveals that despite Steven's parents living together for many years before eventually having their son, it turns out that Greg and Rose Quartz were never formally married, much to the disgust of Greg's cousin Andy. Ruby and Sapphire have been together for 5,750 years, but marriage is a foreign concept to Gems so it never occurred to them to marry. However, in "The Question", Ruby, at Steven's suggestion, proposes to Sapphire to mark their reunion, who accepts, and they are married two episodes later in "Reunited". |

A more questionable case crops up in Star Wars: The Old Republic with Darth Malgus and Eleena Daru. Eleena was a Twi'lek slave Malgus acquired, using her as a Sex Slave and for various tasks, but grew fond of her. Eventually, the pair considered each other this, but Eleena had no legal standing in the Empire other than being a Sith Lord's prized property. Malgus also beat her when he was angry (and being a Sith, he was often angry), and when another Sith pointed out she was a potential liability, he murdered his "wife" in her sickbed. He faced no legal repercussions for this. Sith are above the law in the Empire, and Eleena was "merely" a Twi'lek Sex Slave as far as Imperial law saw it. | |

In The Neapolitan Novels almost all the married couples of the protagonists' ended up living with someone else other than their lawful spouse, with said cohabitation lasting far longer than the marriages. For example, Lila's marriage with Stefano lasts a couple of years, but she goes on living for decades with Enzo. | |

Real Mermaids: The mermaid Michaela never got a legal identity when she came on land to live as a human, so she wasn't able to marry her human boyfriend Dalrymple. Despite that, they've been living together for at least fourteen years (not counting the year when Michaela was presumed dead) and have a child. Everyone assumes they're married, including their daughter Jade before she learns about her mer ancestry. By the time of Real Mermaids Don't Sell Seashells, Michaela has finally gotten some forged identity documents. She and Dalrymple make their marriage official in the Bahamas. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones, Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand are "paramours," which in their native Dorne refers to a noble and their romantic partner that they can't legally marry, such as a bastard (in Ellaria's case), a commoner, or the same sex. Even if the noble takes a legal spouse for the purpose of joining houses, it's an open secret that their real partner is their paramour. In the rest of Westeros, such behavior is considered scandalous, but Dorne prides itself on being socially and sexually progressive. | |

In Game of Thrones, Prince Oberyn Martell cannot marry his paramour Ellaria Sand because she's considered too lowborn (the bastard daughter of a lord), but they act like a married couple in every other sense; they have been together for years, have children together, Ellaria is stepmother to Oberyn's older daughters and she accompanies him to formal events such as royal weddings. | |

Earth's Children: In The Valley of Horses, Jondalar lives with Serenio and her son Darvolo for around two years. Jondalar and Serenio have an intimate relationship while also sleeping with other people, (although their culture doesn't quite have the same concept of infidelity as modern society) and Jondalar is viewed as a father figure by Darvolo. Jondalar eventually tells Serenio he thinks they should make their relationship official, asking her to become his mate and saying it will be an honor to have Darvolo as "the true son of [his] hearth". However, Serenio rejects him because despite their shared history and her feelings for him, she knows he's just settling and it wouldn't make either of them happy. Jondalar realizes she's right and they amicably break up. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Both homosexuality and interracial marriages were unlawful in the early 20th century Louisiana, so no legal options were available to Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac to formalize their union. They make do with an impromptu Metaphorical Marriage, consummate it, and then Louis moves into Lestat's townhouse (during The Edwardian Era, it was typical for a newlywed woman to leave her family home to settle in with her new husband) where they live together like a married couple. Although they're in a committed relationship and acknowledge that they're a family, they never refer to each other as either "husband" or "spouse" in Season 1. | |
