Oh I know all about the problems with computer games and marriage. If you are someone (like me) who likes computer games very much, then I can almost guarantee you will have relationship problems which center around gaming. So if you value your marriage, you WILL have to learn to spend less time (perhaps a lot less time) playing than you might be inclined to. My advice for married people, is whatever your gaming habits are, work with your spouse to try and find some mutually agreeable compromise, and then stick with the agreed upon solution. Sometimes the agreed upon solution, when put into practice, may still not be good, so you have to keep evaluating to try and find a solution that works for both your desires to have some personal gaming time, and her desires for you to spend more time with her or the family.
Some people who like to game a lot may then come to the conclusion that it is better to never get married, because your spouse will in all likelihood have an anti-gaming stance, at least for the amount you like to game. But there is a lot more to life than games, and some of the deepest and most lasting joys in life come from family relationships, so it would be very shortsighted to give up on that in order to have the fleeting pleasure that typically comes from gaming.
Get a 2nd rig
Get a 2nd copy of the game
Tell her you thought it would be fun if you both played together
add the caveat "Though you may not like it, it's too hard for women to play properly"
you'll get 2 responses
"i'll see you at the divorce hearing"
or
"What you've only made 20b credits, god you're a clueless noob"
technically, from a gaming standpoint it's a win win
