John married Annie.
- This is what he did. It is an action. John married in 2003. John married Annie in 2003.
- The verb 'to marry' with a direct object.
Annie is married to John.
- This is her status. She is a married woman. She is not single. She is married. She is married to John.
- The adjective 'married' + to.

- This is wrong.
For 'married with', you will see it is always 'married with children'.
- That means "he is married AND he has children". The 'with' is a shorter way of saying that. But it only works for that meaning.
