The priority date for spouses of permanent residents is current as of August. You should be able to go ahead and file for your adjustment of status assuming all other legal requirements are met.
You may find information on the adjustment of status process here:

I am not sure what prompted you to file for asylum if you were married to a Legal Permanent Resident (who could arguably have become a U.S. citizen & petitioned for you long ago).
If you are still under the jurisdiction of the Immigration Court (EOIR), then you should contact the attorney who represented you/is representing you with your asylum claim. Hopefully you can withdraw the application for asylum & file for adjustment of status with the Court (assuming your priority date is still current at that time).
