Answer:
We cannot give legal advice, but publicly available information indicates there is no "common law marriage" in Ohio unless common law marriage status was achieved prior to 1991, or in another state prior to the couple moving to Ohio. See the following links for details:

In short, it appears there is no special legal status for a "live in partnership" involving a man and woman.
