don't make her like chess. I think it is healthy to a certain degree to have your own hobby. match makers make the error to find people who are too identical there is no spark in that.
there may be a synergy in some cases.
how to get my wife to fall in love with chess?
Sort:
Ok its a simple logic trail.
1) Women like the Chippendale male exotic dance troupe
2) Chippendale is also furniture
3) Tell her the chess pieces were carved from an old Chippendale chair.
4) Profit!

white can try Paris Gambit with famous Beaujolais trap
3. ''I can buy a bottle of good wine and I promise it'll be very romantic'' wife can respond with 3. ... "OMG, Percival, you are so romantic, I so want to learn this game right here right now"?! (Paris Gambit accepted) and white is winning although the opening is full of traps and white has to play correctly to win.
However, wife can respond with 3. ...''Percival, stop it already!!''(Paris gambit declined). White can play dubious Hot coworker attack 4. "OK then, I'll play with my superhot coworker, I'm calling her right now"?! however, white's chances of mating ever again decreases rapidly.
Best response for white is 4. "OK honey, look I bought you a box of chocolates"!! white is ok but he shouldn't have played the first move anyway...
If she does not like chess, it's alright. There are plenty of games you two can play together at the bedroom. I suggest poker.

Hey why not just tell her that you love it, and would appreciate it if she just gave it a try. Then if she doesn't like it, then just let it go. Best advice I can give, GOOD LUCK!
