To become a USA citizen, you need to file the form N-400 with the USCIS/DHS and pay the filing fee (which is currently $675). Since you've been a permanent resident since 1983, it doesn't matter whether you are married or not. There is no automatic grant of citizenship in this scenario.
If approved and passed the naturalization test, you'll be called for the Oath ceremony. After that, you'll become a USA citizen.
