Is there any limit for period of being out of status, when u apply for green card through marriage?

I would be very thankful for any kind advice,

You should be able to obtain a GC through marriage despite your potential overstay. Just get a lawyer.

Zumrad So why didnt you go back home or filed for a replacement of your visa?

How did you lose "it"? what is "it"?

Why didnt you go to school?

Are you seeking marriage, just so you can stay in the country?

As long as the marriage is bonafide, you should be ok. There is one potential issue which may get ugly. Did you go to school at all after you entered on your F-1 visa? You may be accused of fraud during your F-1 interview if you never attended school after entering the US.
