Why would previous 5 years of addresses be required if application pertains to 3 year residency per the marriage process?
You only need to fill in your previous addresses for the last 3 years, seeing as your application is based on your being married to a British citizen and being in the Uk as a British spouse for 3 years.

There are two main routes to naturalisation: through marriage to a British citizen, or by completing a qualifying residence period.
The Three Year Residence Requirement
You will need to show that you:
* are married to a British citizen and the marriage is subsisting;
* were in the UK on the date three years prior to the date of the application;
* have not been absent for more than 270 days in that period;
* have not been absent for more than 90 days during the last 12 months of that period;
* hold indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK;
* that you have a firm understanding of the English language and life in the UK; and
* have not been in breach of immigration laws in the last 3 years.
