No point. We would get fewer points than if it is under my name. I have too many other things to manage as it is and he could never manage to travel alone.

My spouse is now five years from LTP, God willing. Obviously, none of us knows for sure what the future holds, including longevity.
I would submit that most of the additional management time with respect to a P2* account is at the outset. Once you get it set up, the extra time is just a minute or two. When your husband achieves Marriott
BONV°Y Platinum Elite status, any point reductions will drop.
It's never too late to start!
* P1 and P2 (party 1 & party 2) are terms used to refer to married or unmarried couples, or parent and child, or travel companions, who coordinate their accounts and even what credit cards they hold, to maximize benefits.
