If you never filled out a marriage license five years ago, your relationship may still be considered a common-law marriage in some jurisdictions, depending on local laws and how you have presented yourselves as a couple. However, without a legal marriage certificate, you won't have the same legal rights and responsibilities as a legally married couple. If you wish to formalize your relationship, you can apply for a marriage license now and hold a wedding ceremony. It’s advisable to consult legal counsel to understand your specific situation and rights.
