I just want to express the condition of marriage.


which one is right?


1. i’m married to her for 3 years.


2. i’ve been married to her for 3 years.



One more question,


What’s the difference between following two sentences.


1. i’ll marry you.


2. i’ll get marry you.

Hi! Nice questions. You should say, “I’ve been married to her for 3 years.” Use the present perfect tense (have been + verb) to talk about things that were true in the past and are still true now.



We don’t say “I’ll get marry you,” but you can say “I’ll get married to you.” To get married to someone and to marry someone mean the same thing.
