It seems to be a very small town he lives in, he's in his late 30's, he likes her kids and they seem to like him, and while she's no tremendous beauty, she is a good mom and a nice person and he genuinely likes her as well.
She doesn't seem to be a snob so she wouldn't have a problem with him being just an auto mechanic, and she seems content with small-town life so she probably wouldn't insist on them moving to a big city if they got hitched.
I don't recall seeing any relatives of hers in the film, maybe they pretty much died off, so if something happened to her what would happen to the kids if she died? They did need someone I think besides just her, and raising kids is really tough if you are just one person.
It would seem to be a win-win for everybody if they had indeed gotten married.
