Joint tenancy is easy to achieve.
It can be accomplished simply by including a clause referring to that form of ownership in the title to the property. Owning a home as joint tenants can demonstrate the long-term commitment in your relationship. Becoming joint tenants, or homeowners in general, usually makes more long-term financial sense than paying rent together year after year. Home ownership is an investment that can provide financial security for both partners and even partially fund your retirement. As joint tenants, both partners can tap into the equity in the home in case you need money for other purposes in the future.
