I know what you mean about wanting to get your spouse interested in doing things with you. Harley, in "His Needs, Her Needs" says that one of a man's secondary needs, after sex of course, is for a playmate. My spouse used to join me for my SF conventions, but dropped off doing that years ago, I try to be excited about "shopping" but the only shopping that we enjoy together is going to book stores. She somewhat enjoys movies and can handle watching some Trek with me. Fortunately S8 loves that kind of stuff, so he and I bond there. Also he's going to join me for an SF con next year as Terry Pratchett(Discworld) is going to be the guest of honor, the kiddo loves the Discworld animated DVD's I have.

So I understand your wanting to get her to join, but join HP and Tim in tempering it. My spouse and I do bond somewhat doing certain house projects, i.e. painting and some yardwork, but we haven't found an activity that we both have fun doing together. It's something I'm trying to find.
