The correct term under EEA route is PR (Permanent Residence) and not ILR.
The time under EEA regulations starts when you become a family member = wedding day, not when your RC was issued.
By summer next year, would your partner have been working for 5 years?
If yes, he would obtain PR automatically and not working will have no affect on his or your status. Also absences will not cause a problem.
If no, then your partner can exercise treaty rights as self sufficient based on your income. Both of you will need private health insurance for that period. Absences up to 6 months a year (in total) will not cause an issue.
