Cultural Note
Samenwonen is extremely common in the Netherlands and carries no social stigma. Many couples live together for years without marrying, and some never marry at all. A 'samenlevingscontract' (cohabitation agreement) is a legal arrangement that provides some of the rights of marriage without a formal wedding.
