You can get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, and then get a one year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai National.

You can only apply for the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 when you have 45 days (some immigration offices 30 days) remaining on your existing "admitted to" stamp.

HOWEVER... some immigration offices are verbally rejecting the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19, especially if you didn't get you other "optional" extension of stays first.

So don't be too surprised if they verbally say no.
