Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Better if one marries to a Devotee with suitable qualities, with similar goals, desires in life. Or else even if he is a Devotee there will be problems.
Better not to risk with connecting life with non devotees. What is the use? But in only extreme situations. But it is not really good. If he does not follow regulative principles it means other part also won't follow it.
But if a person already married than here also we should not try to do divorce or something like that. If he does not help us to serve to Krishna than we have to help him to serve to Krishna knowingly or unknowingly.
Even if for time being he won't follow 4 regulative principles.
If non devotee husband does his duties nicely it means he is helping us to serve to Krishna. For example, he goes out and earns money we then cook for Krishna or offer flower to Krishna using his money. In this way he is assisting us to serve to Krishna. Even if he is not chanting he will get agyata sukriti and when his agyata sukriti will be enough much he will have desire to serve to Krishna.
HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj says that sweet association between Devotees is foremost then comes chanting. When wife does not love and respect her non devotee husband then she won't be able to chant properly.
He is also a Devotee but for time being he forgot about that. Krishna gave him to You to help him. It might be wife's service to Krishna to help him to become Krishna Conscious.
QUALITIES LIKE HUMILITY, TOLERANCE, RESPECT EVERYONE AND NOT TO WAIT FOR RESPECT TO OURSELVES MELT HEART OF NOT ONLY DEVOTEES BUT EVERY LIVING BEING.
