domestic arrangement
Home life structure
A domestic arrangement is a living situation between people sharing a household, particularly one that falls outside traditional marriage.
The phrase often refers to cohabitation between romantic partners, but can describe any agreed-upon setup for running a home together: Their domestic arrangement involved splitting rent and alternating cooking duties.
The term sometimes carries a slightly formal or euphemistic tone, allowing speakers to acknowledge unconventional relationships without elaborating.
