I assume that you don't get your schooling paid for? It'll be tough living on that money and paying for your school. If it wasn't for your tuition you could probably do it if you live frugally. Can you get financial aid? I'm doing a similar sort of thing. Email me if you need advice.
Here in the US at least when you're paid to go to school, PhD students aren't allowed to work a 2nd job (the 1st job being the PhD student position) I don't know if that's the same in canada.

At least one of you has to get a job. Being a student the rest of your life doing minimal teaching in a university is very close to being on welfare. Don't expect a very high standard of living.

I would say to you do not marry....wait...you've got all the time in the world to wait. Time is on your side. Do not commit yourself to a marriage where you are not both financially secure and your education is finished.
