Please treat this as purely hypothetical. Your guidance, suggestions, support or rebuttal are all welcome.
Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 2 years. We have been keeping our vows of celibacy and have been living a Godly life. In fact, occasionally she would stay over at my house and sometimes even fall asleep next to me in my bed as we doze away after chatting and praying together. Still, we never fall from grace. We enjoyed our union spiritually more than physically, at least for now.
Just found out she has Huntington's Disease and her life expectancy is no more than a year. I propose for marriage despite it would be a short one because we are so much in love but she refused and is adamant not wanting her other significant half to end up a widower.
We made a bold decision. A very unorthodox one especially among Christians. We decided to live together in an apartment and spend every minute together until she goes back to her Maker. We know very clearly that there we will not be having sex and we are not enticed by our cardinal nature since the last 2 years have been our testimony to ourselves and God. We love the Lord so much that we would not do anything that would make Him sad and we have so much respect for each other that we would never defile our bodies (temples).
As a precaution that we would not be a stumbling block to others, we would not reveal this to anyone except those that are close and understanding.
That said, anyone here would approve or disapprove or neutral of our course of actions?
If this hypothetical person will not marry you then you should not move in together and live as man and wife.Please treat this as purely hypothetical. Your guidance, suggestions, support or rebuttal are all welcome.

He wouldn't have suffered more just by having a legal label of "husband" placed on him. You don't love someone at 90% the day before your wedding and love them at 110% the day after the wedding. If he's already willing to stick by her side until her death, his love for her is as extensive as it's gonna get. Since her life expectancy was already less than 1 year, there wouldn't be some prolonged "lack of sex" struggle between them if they didn't marry, because her health would've already been deteriorating to the point where she had mere months to live. They should get married so that 1) he can be with her 24/7 without worrying about temptation or compromising his witness to those around them, and 2) so he can remain with her and make her medical decisions once she requires hospice care or is otherwise unable to make her own decisions. My point is that, his pain at losing her would not be one iota less simply because they did not marry. I speak from experience.
