If "has stayed together" means that the couple has been living together as husband and wife, though unmarried, this is a situation which should be remedied. While it is commendable that the woman wishes to marry, their current living condition is referred to scripturally as "fornication". "Let marriage be honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, for fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Hebrews 4:13 Rotherham
Marriage vows are promises the man and woman make to each other to be faithful in their union. When two have sexual intercourse, they become “one flesh” and are united in God’s sight. (See Genesis 2:24.) Therefore in the Bible, there is no such thing as a one-sided marriage.
Marriage between a man and a woman, equally yoked as believers, is blessed by the Lord, and is a picture of the union to take place between Christ and His church.
"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church–for we are members of His body. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Ephesians 5:22-31 NIV
