Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Marriage

Can two people get married and share benefits without living at the same address? I am considering marrying my friend because she can add me to her insurance and it would be cheaper for me. I don't see where this is a problem if you are legally married. Please let me know. Thanks!!

Another pitfall is if one party, during the marriage, comes into a financial windfall and the other party decides he/she wants a part of it.
