Do I have to reside in the U.S. for the last 2 months of my 3 year residency if I am married to an American citizen and reside with her in the U.S.?

Married to a US citizen, you are planning to take advantage of the three-year rule for naturalization. It appears that you would fit the residence requirement even if you were to leave the US two months before your three years of residency are completed. Coming back to the US, you would have to resume residency in the same immigration district. You would also have to match the other requirements which are that your wife has been a US citizen for three years, and that you have resided together continuously without separation during the time that you have held the green card. On that score, I assume that you would be taking your wife with you on your overseas trip.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
