10 years together is wonderful! You know each other inside and out.
My daughter lived with her husband and they had a child 2 years before they got married. They still had a high mass and a Monsignor married them! He's a close friend of the family and so wonderful.
On the other hand, I lived with my second ex for about 5 years before we got married, and marriage changed our relationship in a negative way.
I think the heart knows what it needs, and it sounds like you're working very well towards it.
