You may be able to acquire more evidence of financial co-mingling then you realize. Here are some easy/common examples --

1. Do either of your have credit cards? You can add an additional card holder to your existing account. NOTE: you can easily add a cardholder, adding your wife to your actual account will require a social security card, which obviously she will not have. But you can authorize an additional card.
2. Do you have any life insurance or accidental death benefits provided by your work? You can add your wife as a beneficiary to these policies.
3. Do you have any retirement or savings accounts? You can add your wife as beneficiary to these accounts.

These are really easy things you can do and you really should do, even if you weren't applying for any immigration benefits.

I have a question regarding this - if the wife is waiting on a CR1/IR1 visa to be approved, how can we add them as a beneficiary without an SSN or is it not required?

There is a form for countries with tax treaties with the USA (like Canada) called a W8-ben which allows the addition of non-resident aliens.
