I think the term was coined about five or six years ago to recognize gay unions as I haven't seen any common law relationships announcments (kinda silly, don't you think? "Jen and Dave decided to permanently move in together and did so quietly on January 5th of this year." Not really worth an annoucement, I don't think).
