You would need to provide all the legal documentations that show you both are married in that country i.e. marriage certificate together with the Foreign Ministry stamp on it (Apostille Stamp).

Lovely to hear that everything is fine and congratulations for ILR. Thanks mate. For your original question she mentioned what the problem was and did not give me a letter stating what went wrong.
