For some reason, I thought I heard they subtracted the time you've been married.
We are four months away from 2 years so I am wondering if we should just wait so I can go for a 10-year green card right away.

You'll get a conditional green card for 2 years.
When the time comes, you apply again to have the conditional status listed. You will have to be married still and be able to prove the marriage was bonafide. This should not be an issue. Then the condition will be lifted. However after another year of marriage, you can apply for naturalization.
