You could be eligible to apply in 3 years. Here's an excerpt from the USCIS site

Spouses of U.S. Citizens

Generally, certain lawful permanent residents married to a U.S. citizen may file for naturalization after residing continuously in the United States for three years if immediately preceding the filing of the application:

*
the applicant has been married to and living in a valid marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse for all three years;
o the U.S. spouse has been a citizen for all three years and meets all physical presence and residence requirements; and
o the applicant meets all other naturalization requirements.
