LPRs can petition for spouses but I think it takes a few years to get the spouse here.
You can file the I-130 once you are married and when you get citizenship get it upgraded and it will go through the system faster.
Good luck

you might be right. I did take a look at the current visa bulletin and it indicates that for family immigration, specifically spouses, the USCIS is processing petitions dated 15 April 2003 for the Philippines.
