Yes you will each get your own. However, if one dies the spouse will get whatever check amount is higher from then on.

Being married cuts down on the amount of money you will both get I have heard of couples being married for 50 years and getting divorced so there would be more money in the household

The best way to confirm the rules is to contact the Social Security Admin. office in your area. Then you get the straight word on your benefits.

It is true, you can only collect as a couple, unless you live seperately in different households, then you both can collect...
