What I chose to do was wait........as in the case of my niece. When a child
was born, I added the father without a marriage tag. I didn't feel I needed
to say anything.....

Another possibility is POSSLQ (pronounced possle-cue) which was invented by
the US Census Bureau and means
persons-of-the-opposite-sex-sharing-living-quarters. It was used in the
1980 census and has been used by demographers. Also, LTA (living-together
arrangement) could be used. Some cases may not require a sentence at all,
just a memo, or a suppressed sentence. If children are born to the couple,
and you want the couple and children to appear on charts/reports in some
semblance of order with spouses and children of actual marriages, then you
probably will want to put the tag in the Marriage Group.
