Feed her a lot of prasadam. Have her listen to you performing Japa loudly. (listening is also considered devotional practice. In fact its the easiest). Play a lot of Prabhupad videos and audios loudly in your room or where ever you can.
Kindly dont preach to her or anyone who are non believers. Its a BIG offense.
Dont lose hope, you have the potential to be ascended to the spiritual world even with your own body.

HareKrishna,
I saw this movie many times and really it gives idea if you marry to a non devotee person. Still you will find following discussions very much helpful to you,

Rajashree Mataji,
Matajis are more under the influence of Maya than are Prabhus. I dont know why it is that way, perhaps someone can explain why.
If a child does their own way, should we also join the child doing the wrong things for a while and slowly take them out of it? or discipline the child to do the right thing?
I am not suggesting anyone to force their spouse to serving Krishna, which is an absolute no no.
A man must set the example for the wife and children to follow.
You watching tv with her and schmoozing will not get you anywhere in my opinion. She may end up dragging you down to her level, where pretty soon you think life is good this way, forget Krishna except for occasional begging (or placing an order with God, a list of what all you want) at a local temple.
At the end of the day, your wife is envious of Krishna, (just like we all were and to some extent still are) and she wants you to serve her and not Krishna.
Sorry mataji I disagree with you and I dont think it fits in with Krishna Consciousness philosophy and seriously doubt if an Acharya would advise this way.
