When asked if he would marry, he said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "Absolutely, we're going to get married. We had our civil partnership on the first day it was legally possible. Same-sex people have been waiting a long time for things to happen to them.
"I've been through hell [throughout] my 50s and 60s and even before then, so when a government gives you this legislation, which is so wonderful and we didn't expect it to come so soon in society, then you seize it by the horns and you say, 'Yes, we're gonna do this because it's such a gift and we never thought we'd have it'."
The couple were one of the first to enter a civil partnership when the relevant legislation came into force in December 2005, holding a ceremony in the Windsor Guildhall.
When asked about his life in a civil partnership, John replied: "It did make a difference when we had our civil partnership. When we exchanged vows it made our relationship stronger. We're 20 years together this year, but commitment like that really strengthened our relationship."
He added: "Now, with the marriage thing, we won't have a big wedding because we already did that with our civil partnership."
