Playing in a game where my elven character has fallen in love with a human. She is low-key looking for a way to extend his life (not indefinitely, just to lengthen it closer to her lifespan).
Other than the Thuvian sun-orchid elixir which is essentially impossible to get, any ideas that aren't full on evil? Vampirism and lichdom and all that is not going to fly with his Mendevian Crusading, Iomedae worshipping self and my elf wouldn't consider those options really anyway.
Any advice is appreciated; so far all the references I'm finding are D&D mechanics only and not Pathfinder.

AFAIK there is no such treatment in extant Pathfinder rulebooks, for the simple reason that it is exceedingly rare for campaigns to span years, let alone lifetimes.
It's up to you and your DM to concoct something, perhaps a variation on the reincarnation ritual.

As I recall different planes can affect the way time flows, so building a home or castle that is somehow in such a plane, all the time that you spend together in said home, the human would not age.
If you are out on crusades all the time, perhaps instead of a singular castle, you could have a extra-dimensional coach you could travel about in together.
The clone ritual might be able to be used to duplicate the younger physical form of someone, so that might be an option that might offer an option.

Level 14 monk or druid feat can stop you from aging.
The 20th level infernal contract Unending Youth keeps you as an adult for as long as the contract persists.
Other than those three options and the aforementioned Sun Orchid elixir, there really aren't any mechanics related to aging whatsoever in PF2 though.

I would rule that a wish/miracle/Alter reality could reverse aging.
At what cost, though? The spell itself is hard to come by as it is, and it's not like aging is something that is regularly combated every day in the Pathfinder universe. At least, that isn't rooted in Evil power.
Even comparable magic like Time Stop is only capable of freezing time for 18 seconds, not reversing time or adding objective life span whatsoever. Wish and similar spellcasting can only duplicate lower level spells without negative drawback. You want to do more than 9th or 10th level spells, that's gonna ruffle a lot of ethereal feathers somewhere. Maybe Pharasma will send one of her Heralds after you to take to the Boneyard court, for attempting to cheat the rules of death. Maybe that source of life comes from another as a price for this power. Maybe the wish uses the powers rooted in Evil for this purpose. It's a GM call, to be clear, but it's not something that's intended to be done on a regular basis without in-universe consequences.
