Hi

everlastinghopeIs there any difference between how many times have you been married and how long have you got married?

How many times have you been married?

Answer = I have never been married.
I have been married once.
twice.
or even more times if that is the case.

How long have you been married?

Answer = I have been married for 6 months.
1 year.
5 years.

When did you get married?

Answer = I got married 6 months/1 year/5 years ago

'How long have you got married' is not correct.

To cut a long story short, for all practical purposes they mean the same thing. To me, "How many times have you been married?" is more natural and seems better English.

You would answer both questions with "never", "once", "twice", "three times" etc.

It is not correct to say "How long have you got married?" You have to say "How long have you been married?"
