You have to fulfill several steps:

1. agree to be married

2. tell people you are married or sign paperwork (tax return, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance, lease, etc.) stating that you are spouses

You can live together for 20 years and not be married if you don't agree to be married.

Agreeing to be engaged is NOT being married.
