Marriage relationship drop-down

Is it possible to add something like "No Marriage Relationship" to the relationship drop down when adding a couple's relationship? There are many instances when a baby was born, but the couple had no relationship except for conceiving a child. I have a case in my tree where this was the case. Others want to put "Lived Together" which gives the wrong view of the relationship.

    You don't have to assign any relationship between the biological parents of a child. And you can have multiple parents - step, foster, bio.

    @bonnieperkesmays I think you have a very good suggestion. I am hoping others will notice your post and add a comment. Here are some of my suggestions for now: For spouses, the "No Marriage Events" default indicates that there is no marriage until a record is found. However, if you click the edit pencil, it opens to several options, such as add event, add fact, add source, and add note. The add note feature is very handy for the information you mentioned. You can also add this information in the Collaborate tab, which opens up to Notes or Discussions. There are also Notes to the left of Vitals and Other information.
