Estoy traduciendo un informe psicológico sobre una pareja de hermanos:
"Madre: xxx, de xx años, estudios universitarios, casada con el Sr. xxx, de xx años, de profesión administrador (comerciante), **mantienen una unión en un hogar nuclear** desde hace 10 años."
Contexto adicional: la pareja se casó hace como uno o dos meses, pero ha estado junta desde hace 10 años
Encontré este concepto relacionado:
La familia nuclear es la familia conviviente formada por los miembros de un único núcleo familiar, el grupo formado por los miembros de una pareja y/o sus hijos.
Hasta ahora he colocado "who have been living together for 10 years", pero no sé si tergiversa el original.
Mil gracias por adelantado

have been living for ten years as a couple in a nuclear household
I consider that it is important to stress the continuity of their link: in Spanish it is in present tense, but to remark this fact the present perfect continuous is mandatory. Also, it is important to clarify the nature of their relationship: a couple and, finally, the type of household: they live as a nuclear family (the parents and their children).

have been cohabiting (for 10 years)
This would be one way of saying it. I think it means the same.

constituting a nuclear familiar
...for (the last) ten years.
Or '...living together as a nuclear family for the past ten years.'

Perhaps my second option would be better (as others subsequently confirmed), since there may not be enough reason to increase the register with a word like 'constituting'; thus, I'd go with: '...(who have been) living together as a nuclear family for (the past) 10 years'.
Suerte y saludos, Yvonne :-)

Examples Word Origin
noun
1.
a social unit composed of two parents and one or more children.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nuclear family
A nuclear family or elementary family is a family group consisting of a pair of adults and their children. This is in contrast to a single-parent family, to the larger extended family, and to a family with more than two parents. Nuclear families typically centre on a married couple; the nuclear family may have any number of children.

The concept of a nuclear family is relatively recent – it is first mentioned in The Oxford English Dictionary in 1925 – and refers to a household that consists of a mother, father and their children. It is recent because the cost of establishing a household has been historically very high and young couples simply could not afford to do so. It was the economic ability to live separately that then enabled the significant social change of splitting up the extended family. History Future Now believes that the nuclear family is a historical aberration and ultimately doomed to fail.
