Canadian Citizen married to us citizen and staying in the us

yes, what you did was fine, not such a big deal! Its the people the KNOWINGLY enter the USA with the intention of staying and stay are the ones that ere in for a long ride. Well if they keep their mouths closed they would be fine,lol. Al comes down to what ones intentions are--if one cares to test it--just tell the USA POE officer that one plans to stay, he will clue one in pretty quick,lol glad it worked out for ya
