Question
I have been seriously considering joining the marine corps or the army for a long time. I have a lot of marines in my family, including my father, so that has always been my first choice. I'm recently engaged, so now I have that to consider as well. I guess that my question is that would one branch be better for my situation than the other. I have talked to recruiters from both branches and still can't decide. Thanks for your time
It all comes down to your personal choice. There is no difference in entitlements or pay for being married in one service or another. Talk to both recruiters and ask them about career fields and potential bases to go to. See which ones appeal to you more and join that service.

I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
