You mean physically live together, correct? The issue with marriages and gree cards is one of fraud. USCIS is suspicious about "sham" marriages - people who get married just to become citizens - so they will investigate with even more diligence if you do not actually live together. Seek help from an immigration lawyer in your area if there are special circumstances here (jobs, etc.). Good luck.
