Well if you arrived in the UK on a spouse visa in 2010 you have more than 3 years residence. As Wanderer has said, you need to apply for and be granted British Citizenship before you qualify for a British passport.

Step 1 ) apply for naturalisation once you meet all requirements, including KOLL, good character and acceptable absences (etc).

See guide here (then apply on form 'AN'):
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _final.pdf

Section 2 covers the permitted absences.

Step 2 ) If successful & naturalised, apply for British passport.

Good luck.
