Married-ish is best defined by its context. It looks different from one couple to the next and is largely shaped by the emotional honesty and maturity shared between partners.
For example: married partners who never, or seldom, have sex; “closeted” relationships (i.e. beards); marriages/partnerships with asexuals; platonic marriages/relationships; some arranged marriages; polyamorous relationships; monogamous relationships with multiple sexual partners (i.e. swingers); marriages where one partner engages in extramarital affairs
