A Common Law relationship is effectively not a legal relationship in the marriage/civil partnership sense....people can live together, but should one partner die the person they are living with have no definite legal rights to any possessions of the person who is deceased. The possessions go to the blood relations unless the deceased persons will decrees that their life partner should inherit their possessions.
Effectively, you can live together with anyone but if you want legal rights: if you're heterosexual get married, and if you're homosexual get a civil partnership.
