Cultural Note
In France, 'être en couple' (to be in a couple) is the standard way to say you are in a relationship. France also has 'le PACS' (Pacte Civil de Solidarité), a civil partnership available since 1999 that offers many rights of marriage without the full formality — very popular among French couples.
