There are a lot of people who would love to marry, but for many reasons do not 'tie the knot', but instead opt to live together. One reason prevalent in relationships between senior adults is that one partner, or sometimes both, would stand to actually LOSE government benefits if they married. This is not uncommon, and is a pretty sorry commentary that ties right in to 'that's how we've always done it'. Bravo for you! You are SO right about marriage relationships.
