Your Spouse doesn't have to be a gamer. they just have to accept that you are, and still love you anyways without wanting to change you. There have been a few folks here that hit the nail on the head... balance. balance in life. this is the great creator of harmony.
and for the record, I am married, and while my wife isn't a gamer per se, she likes watching, but has a hard time getting into something more in depth than Pac-man or candy crush type stuff.
I work second shift so I play a lot on days off while everyone (wife and kid) are asleep. They play Lego games together sometimes so it's not like either of them hate gaming. They both like to watch me play some games, like God of War or Devil May Cry.
When my daughter was 6 she used to love watching me play Fallout 3 nailing zombie heads to subway walls with the "rail" gun. She liked it because it was scary but I would make fun of it. When we heard the zombies in the tunnels I'd say, "It's your boyfriend!" and she'd go "Nuh-uh!" As you could hear them getting closer I'd go "where is he, where is he" and when it poped up she'd yell "There!" I'd shoot it with a railroad spike, the gun would make the train whistle noise, and she'd laugh like it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen. She always wanted me to find the head nailed to the wall to show her. I spent so much time in those subway tunnels with that gun. My wife thought it was goofy, but she got into it too.

omg we need more of you!
My husband isn't a gamer. If we have a day off together then its family time. If its my day off then I play while he is at work. On the days we both work, we work at different times. What really effects my playing time is wrestling the PS3 from my son.

Actually, we fight over the XBOX.
I was playing skyrim so much on his xbox,
that he bought me the game for PC, so he could
have his xbox back.

this is something you should sort out before you get married, just my opinion (from someone who has never been married).
Earth is for the Humans. Kill all aliens.
this is the best thread thus far lol. back when my wife an i were just dating, she HATED my gaming needs. but after 10yrs of dating an 2yrs of marriage. shes actually found a positive of me gaming. im not out being reckless, or at the bars, etc. im home with her. i spend the weekends with her, but week day afternoons are game time if im in the mood. she games sometimes as well, but i dont consider anything on wii "gaming" lol. so whatever you wanna call that, thats what she does haha. when she talks i "try" to listen, if she ask me to do something, she knows it has to wait until im at a save point or a safe point for me to set my controller down.
He is still a poopy face!

We are both gamers, I just game more so I can get *****ed at sometimes. I found if I just don't keep the headset on I get yelled at alot less.
It was a hassle when I was raiding cause he'd bug me constantly because he doesn't get it, he's a fighting game kind of dude hah.
What's more annoying is that we both play games but that we have ZERO skill in the games each other likes to play so we can get never combine our hobbies to be a super killin' duo.
My wife loves that I'm a gamer as it keeps me off the streets, so I'm cool with that because I don't like to drink anymore.
