To allow someone to care for you?
To allow money to pass on easily?

Have been considering all plus and minus; don't know end result.
Living together would have some advantages.
Actual marriage would give him SSA.

Khan,
As you are also looking at minuses, here's one.
Since over 60% of marriages (which were mostly "for love", admittedly) end up in divorce, what is to prevent that possible outcome and how will you protect your assets in that case?

Don't marry, shack up.
He would only get SSA if you are married ten years . Khan, this is not a great idea. He may die and you will still need to think about care as you get older . Plus unless he is a lot Younger ( and good for you if he is )he will also be old & need care .I would look into a lifestyle community where you start in independent living & then move to assisted living as you need it .You could also live together & set up all the legal paperwork .That is what we have done .Without the paperwork he can not make health or financial decisions for you .
Just don't let them find out about each other.I think it was Margaret Meade suggested maybe people should have 3 marriages: for lust, for children, for companionship.

Don't need to be married to pass along money. Care doesn't come from marriage, it comes from affection. Live together, share, and see what happens. But keep the assets separate and out of the equation.Have you ever considered such?
