N-400 question 8G: "How many times has your current spouse been married?"

Just out of curiosity does this refer to just prior marriages, so if my spouse hasn't been married before marrying me, should it be 0 or should i include our marriage and put 1?
 
The question is not "How many times has your current spouse been married prior to being married to you?". Therefore, the answer should be 1 not 0. At least, that was my answer. I took each question at face value instead of analyzing the psychology of intent behind it.

I answered in the same way. My spouse has only been married to me but I still answered 1.

But the question ties in with the next line which asks "If you spouse has ever been married before, give following information about your spouse's prior marriage". This indicates they are only concerned if you spouse was previously married.
 
Correct answer according to me should be 1 not 0. Q. 8 G says "How many times has your current spouse been married (including annulled marriages)?" The way i interpret is they are trying to find out how many times spouse has married including current and previous annulled marriages if any, meaning if he or she is currently married the answer cannot be less than 1 (with an assumption of no previous annulled marriages). Note here emphasis is also given previous annulled marriages.

I agree. I have answered it as 1 too. The question doesn't include "PRIOR TO BEING MARRIED TO YOU".
