you have to have both, 3 yeara of marriage and 3 years of being a LPR and still be married with your petitioner spouse.

Agreed. I believe you have to have at LEAST 3 years of marriage at the time of applying, but you become eligible to apply after 3 years (minus 90 days) of LPR.

So you become eligible 90 days before your 3 year LPR date, but you HAVE to have 3 years of marriage at the time of applying

married three years, living togather three years,and are permanant residence, you can file the n-400 90 days before the three years,...in other words three years now count backwards 90 days,

3 years as a LPR while married to the same person.

to all the 3 members who responded above.

3 years LPR provided that you were married to a USC for the 3 previous years.

both conditions must be met.

And obtain his/her Green Card thru same USC.

Yes you can. Look at the date on your permanent resident card it will say Resident Since XX-XX-XXXX you can go back 3 months from that date given you were already married for 3 years to the same US Citizen.
