I know two cats who were bathed once a week from kittenhood, and were able to live happily with a severely allergic person without any of the involved parties suffering ill health from it. You have to use pet-friendly shampoo so their skin doesn't dry out (exacerbating the dander), and of course it's better if you start them young enough that they just think of it as normal, but it can be done.

It's wonderful that you gave Marshal a home despite your severe allergy; a lot (maybe most) would have given him away, taken him to a shelter or dumped him out of a car somewhere. Yes, mutual respect and a willingness to compromise and not violate boundaries - human relationships could use a lot more of those things as well.
