No. You can add anyone you want to your will and it doesn't show that you have any relationship to that person.
In Australia, you are classed as a defacto partner after living together for three (I think) months. Still not classed as legally married though. Need a marriage license to show that.

Sadly no but it does mean they have some special meaning in their life. Below is a link to the Legal definition of marriage. But unless stipulated in writing they would have little weight to make any large claims as a "wife" regarding assets.

No, you're legally married when you sign a marriage license and have a clergy or someone recognized by the court to marry you.

No, when you have a certified marrige certificate is when you are married. It varies from state to state but, that is the easy way to answer it. You can leave your socks for your dog in your will and it means nothing more then the socks go to the dog nothing else.

No. Marriage and a will are two separate legal entities.

Nope. You can put anybody in your will that you want without being married.
