My wife games with me, and I'm the luckiest SOB... 
I met her through a mutual friend who was in one of my gaming groups. As our marriage has progressed (13 years now), she's gone from an occasional player to one of the most hardcore RPers I know. And, she pushes me to write better adventures (if I write a hack-and-slasher, she gets on my case for writing boring stuff...)

Wy wife games with me, sometimes. She is a much more casual gamer than I am, but she does enjoy it when she is willing to play, and understands that I like it a lot more and want to play more often than she does.

DM Beadle
I met my wife Katy in high school and she knew I ran role playing games then (I was also superjock football stud and tennis player so I was well rounded, now I'm just round ). That was 20 years ago and she has always accepted and encouraged my play. I don't think she really understood the game until about seven or eight years ago when she discovered beads. She doesn't herself care much for role-playing (outside of the bedroom) nor do I much care for beads (not going to repeat myself) but we are glad we have each other and the hobbies we love.

First Post
To bring in the missing female viewpoint here, I started gaming because my fiancee games, and it's now a major social activity for both of us. That's where I met all of my current friends.
There are two other couples in our gaming group, and the wives don't have any problem with the husbands gaming without them. The guys are involved in some games that the women just aren't interested in. But the wives are also avid gamers themselves, their tastes just aren't as broad as their husbands'.
I have seen the other side of the coin, though. One of my friends recently married and his wife doesn't really like his gaming. In fact she doesn't like anything he does that doesn't directly involve her. She has no friends of her own and wants him to be all her social activity. She's getting better, but I still think she'd prefer it if he just spent every waking moment with her and dumped all his friends.
