Married means you have a husband or a wife. A ring on the fourth finger; a form with boxes for single, married and divorced.
The verb is marry, and the everyday phrase is get married — get married TO someone, never with someone, which is the first mistake most learners make. You can also marry someone directly, as in he married her in 1974, and be married to someone for a stretch of years. Married sits comfortably in front of nouns: a married couple, married life, a married name, married quarters. Newly married and happily married are the set pairs you will hear. Figuratively, being married to your job is a complaint dressed up as a compliment.
