communal life
"shared life" is close but given the askers comments I think "communal" is a bit closer

: The Farsi term - Zendegiyeh Moshtarek" is generally in laymen vocabulary referred to connubial,i.e married life and doesn't apply to situations of sibling life or more...however among what proposed here I take Communal life as closest to what asked.
