If the woman stays, is she then needed to be supported? Things are so great,
but I'd like her to have the option to stay basically.......... What needs
to have and what are the options (if any)?

Ummmm.......is the marriage not working, as your title line suggests? But if things are great, why ask? Don't mean to be critical, but your question is a little unclear.

It is my understanding that if you have married in 90 days (k1) and she has completed her adjustment of status to receive a green card she can stay, regardless of the outcome of the marriage. Also, if she comes on a K3 she can stay as she will already have her PR status.

I think it is a bit more blurry if the marriage occurs within the 90 days but before the AOS is complete. I have read advice going both ways as to whether the person can stay. However, it is not a sure thing.

Not an expert, just keeping the discussion going.

k3 is an "interim", nonimmigrant visa that merely allows the spouse to come and wait here until the 130 is approved. It's not the be all end all (wish it was!!!), just a stopgap measure.
