I just skimmed them, but it appears that if you wait until you are both at full retirement age, your spouse gets a benefit equal to 50% of your benefit (so together, you get 150% of your benefit). But if either of you file early, the benefits are reduced (but you get them for longer, so it may still be to your long term advantage).
As I said, this really needs help from a financial planner who specializes in retirement.
