    Short Answer: NOTHING, just leave the "Event" as "Blank".

    .

    Of course, UNLESS, there was a "Common Law" component; or, they "Lived Together".

    .

    There are many such "Couple" Relationships in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" with NO "Event", just as there is in life.

    .

    An "Event" is NOT a mandatory requirement in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    I hope this helps.

    you could add a note indicating the person was not married.

    but most people just leave the marriage record empty - and thats it.

    in the relationship

    you can choose various options such as "common law marriage etc,"

    you an also add a note to the relationship - explaining the circumstances

    if they were not married - lave date blank.
