If you entered the country illegally over 20 years ago how can you become a legal citizen without marrying?

You can be adopted by a US citizen. You can be sponsored by an immediate relative that is a US citizen or a permanent green card holder. Marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer citizenship or permanent resident status on the new spouse. Adoption is only allowed if the child is 16-years or younger has been certified an orphan by his or her country of origin and has been granted an IR4 visa for entrance into the United States.

How can a same-sex spouse fix the other's legal papers?
Effective June 26, 2013, an American citizen can sponsor a same-sex, foreign spouse for permanent residency. The process is easier if the foreign spouse has not overstayed a visa and has not entered the country illegally. If the foreign spouse entered the country illegally, he or she may be subject to a bar for re-entry to the United States. Many other countries permit citizens to sponsor same-sex spouses.
How can a U.S. citizen marry his common law wife who is an undocumented illegal immigrant without her being deported?
It is no longer possible for a citizen to apply for permanent residency/ citizenship for an immigrant spouse who entered the U.S. illegally. (INA Sect: 212(a)(9)(B) and 8 USC 1182(a)(9)(B). Marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer permanent resident status or citizenship on a foreign national. Therefore, marrying the person would not solve the problem of her being unlawfully present. She would be required to voluntarily return to her country of origin or be deported by authorities. Specific information can be found on the United States Citizenship and Immigration website, http://www.uscis.gov
How can you assure that your illegal alien doesn't get deported after you marry them?
You cant. If he entered illegally, the only way to make them legal is to marry them and file a I-601 in their home country and hope it gets approved (but travelling outside the US creates a 3 or 10 year bar to reentry). Otherwise, he will always be subject to deportation. Becoming legal by simply marrying a citizen is among the top 3 misconceptions in immigration. It simply isn't true.
