So long as you are legally married to your wife, there is nothing illegal with her looking up your credit report and score without your approval. Even if you were divorced, she is legally entitled to order a credit report as to you. In fact, in legal matters that I do, I can call a credit reporting company and order a credit report as to someone that I have never met. Such is allowed in this country. I simply have to pay for the report.
