living together
Under one roof
Living together describes people sharing a residence, typically a romantic couple who aren't married: They've been living together for three years.
The phrase often implies a domestic partnership with shared responsibilities and intimacy.
It can also simply mean cohabitation without romantic connotation: The roommates had been living together since college.
