No, the punishment to Narcissus was delivered by the Greek goddess Nemesis (being in love with his own image, unable to look away and eat/drink) and either slowly pined away or killing himself in despair, his blood became the Narcissus flower.

What are the problems being married to a Narcissus?
I should think that being married to a flower would make for all sorts of trouble. However, if you are talking about being married to a person with similar traits to Narcissus, the handsome boy from Greek mythology, there would also be problems. For example, Narcissus was very cruel, spurning the advances of everyone who loved him (including Echo). In addition, as Narcissus in the story fell in love with his own reflection, being married to someone like that would mean that he cares about himself much more than he would care about you.
