Well, as for that particular point, https://educaloi.qc.ca/en/capsules/incapacity-being-unable-t... makes it appear that spouses and common-law partners and parents are all equally able to submit a request to a court for protective supervision if the person in question hasn't prepared a protection mandate (formerly known as mandate in case of incapacity). And you and your wife were just as able to override that by giving protection mandates to each other before you married as you are now. Do you know otherwise?

In our case, there are strong financial reasons not to get married yet: she's a student receiving Quebec financial aid, and since we're unmarried and childless at the moment, Quebec doesn't consider my income or assets in student aid decisions (unlike how e.g. Ontario treats common-law partners). Once that changes, we may reconsider.
