How do you tell a friend he is married to a narcissist so he will believe you?

Its very difficult. Gather as many facts as you can over a long period of time. Most of the time spouses are sucked into their relationship and don't realize what they are a part of. Because of this you need to have enough information to look at their situation objectively and with a clear mind. In the meantime its very important that you don't show bias when speaking to your friend and also you should never imply that your friend is blind to his situation. Narcissists are able to control their spouses without actually showing their control. So although its obvious to you, it will seem ridiculous to your friend because he thinks he's in control of the situation.
In a nutshell:
Gather evidence, solid examples (for example, emotional blackmail, unusual behaviour)
Note down your friends reactions in these examples
Speak to him in a non-threatening or intimidating way, show concern but never challenge his abilities
But be warned, all of this can backfire on you and result in your friend thinking that you are paranoid and have problems, and not his wife.
Good luck.
