I think the question here is whether your marriage records can be sealed from the public as confidential. Marriage records are, normally, a matter of public record. However, you can request the court to seal the marriage records from the public, but there must be a very good reason for doing so, as privacy concerns are not enough (i.e., fear of threats, etc.).

Marriage (as a legal status) is a public record. I don't think that any states allow the existence of a legal marriage to be sealed, except in extraordinary circumstances.
If you mean, confidential communications between married spouses being privileged, all US states recognize some variant of that evidentiary rule.

California has confidential marriage licenses.

It's public record in all states.
