Got married/was married
Is there a difference between 'I was married three years ago' and 'I got married three years ago'? I would think that if you are still married you say 'I got married three years ago' which means you have been married for three years.

It depends. "I got married" means that the act of your marriage took place then. You were not married prior to that.
