You can't unless you sign in with her Apple ID -- which you should NOT do, as you can only have one Apple ID signed into iCloud at a time and it will likely merge ALL of your data with hers -- so you would have her iMessages, but she would also have yours. As well as contacts, pictures, and any other data you both sync to iCloud. Which is why everyone should have their own Apple ID.
You're going to have to physically look at her phone to monitor her messages.
