I would say: go for broke. There should be something like a civil union, made of 2 or more people, with fixed rules for forming [adding a new member] and dissolving [removing a member or splitting in half], with no mention to sexual intercourses. A marriage is just a special form of it. I know a pair of sisters that live together like a marriage [except sex, of course]. They have *no* legal protection for simple things, like extending insurance to the other. Why they can't be "married"?
