Well luigi is an air character... and marth has the air priority against him... i sense a problem.
maybe try wavelanding, or try to stay on the ground and shieldgrab.
i play luigi(not main) and i have two friend marths so i will check some strategies for you.

If he fairs you just DI away, if he uairs DI to the side and try to either airdodge down or to the side when he is about to hit you or try tornado it works well sometimes, and utilt :( just dont get hit by it haha, just try to avoid it but if he hits u then do the same think as uair, either air dodge or tornado

I can stand my own, as can most probably, on the ground.

do some mindgames, such as run away from him and wavedash backwards into a ftilt, ftilt is very good against marth, just make sure you have a good spacing, and know where he is gonna tech so you can tech chase him XD

I have a lot of trouble with Marth myself. Luigi's ground game is the best way to rack up some damage. Down throws can usually combo into air attacks for kills. Definately use wavedash forward tilt. It the marth is aggressive, wave dash... a lot. Try and catch him missing fsmashes and grab. If the marth frequently gets the sweet spot up+b off the stage. Hop off and ff downair. Many marth's do not see it coming. If they do the up B will sen you up back on the stage. Don't let him grab/sh ftilt you. After every significant attack if you are close to him jab.

Dont jump use waveshield to get near f-tilt is useful against marth, use DI to escape combos if you grab him down throw you can sometimes follow with an aerial attack, dont choose platform stages makes very hard to aproach hope it serves.:)
