You use "could have" to talk about possibilities in the past.

It's usually shortened to "could've".

     I could've married someone else but I chose you.

"Would have" also refers to possibilities in the past.

It's more often used with "if" clauses and expresses certainty.

    I would have passed the test if I'd got one more question right.
