Thanks
Yes, you are eligible to obtain the Portuguese citizenship as spouse because you are married to her for over 3 years.
I advise you to seek a lawyer to assist you because the procedure to obtain the Portuguese citizenship as spouse is complicated due to the bureaucracy of the Portuguese government. Even the Consulates advise the applicants to seek a lawyer.
I hope I have helped.
