Many people now use the words "partner" and "husband/wife" interchangeably
Wife is specific, partner is not. This whole plan depends on getting a residence permit. Otherwise he can only stay as a tourist. The only two ways I know to get a residence permit are to work for a local company or have a legal relationship with a citizen. Since he said this is for retirement, that only leaves the relationship.
