To draw an analogy, I'd say your spouse may be cool, distant, and defensive about your religion because you are her spouse. If her colleague at work, or the postal deliverer, or the clerk at the store suddenly changed religions, she might well ask a few questions, and show at least mild interest. BUT, you are her other 1/2--one that has suddenly changed. She may be shocked, scared, and most certainly uncertain. You've just turned over the apple cart, it's landed on her, and you smile, act polite, and wonder why she's so upset.

Prospectmom might be right. The Apostle Paul certainly is. In 1 Corinthians 7 he says that when a conversion takes place, the new believer must live the best, most godly example possible before the unbelieving spouse. Who knows, he asks--maybe she'll come around. No guarantees, but love and patience are the best hope.
