There is a lot amount of information and it would make for a very long answer, so from your starting point of knowing nothing, I suggest you read fully the information and links in these web pages below and make searches on this forum. Then, if you have any doubts or questions you can ask here for relevant information to fill the gaps in your understanding.

The condition for ILE (KOL Required) is that you must have been married and living together outside of the UK for a minimum of 4 years. You don't appear to have met this condition as you've been living in different countries and visiting during this time.
By the way, the Government are considering the removal of the 4 year concession.

Additionally, would you be applying from the same or different countries? Applying from different countries would raise questions about the validity of an on-going interpersonal relationship but this can be overcome with relevant evidence. Applying together from the same country would require the applicant to hold a resident status in that particular country.

I would think your biggest challenges will be showing your spouse intends to return to the UK with you and that your relationship is subsisting . See thread at top on subsisting marriage
