It is technically illegal, but many people do live together here with out being married. However you will not be able to sponsor a spouse. Both of you will have to have employment to obtain visas.
I know it is a bit forward but after 17 years, (longer than alot of marriages) then why don't you tie the knot? Would make life easier out here.

And these days increasingly a way for women to screw men out of their money and possessions!
If you are going to do it get pre-nups for goodness sake....people change.
