Seek to regain your testimony. Share with your wife your feelings and also some of the history that led you to become inactive. It is also important to be totally honest with her in regards to why you are trying to return to church, what your thoughts and feelings are and what you hope to accomplish. Be kind, gentle and polite. Love your wife and SHOW her, not just tell her you love her. If you have a chance to bring your wife into the church is by showing her the beauty, the power and breath of the Gospel.

I wish you the best and I hope this renewed desire to return tot he Gospel be a great blessing to your family.
I have a not very active wife with a lot of questions about the Church. I try to talk her into asking the questions to someone other than me because she does not want to hear it from me. I am a "Freek" about the faith. I try to tone it down, and not pressure her, but it is hard, we are new converts, and I am really fired up about the Church, and really want to get involved. I have been working on my testimony, and I share my feelings when I can. I think the trick to her will be just leave her alone and allow her to find it herself.
