What's something that would require a great sacrifice from you that if you did, she would be willing to look at some of the church issues in more detail?
Basically with my TBM wife, I told her I would agree to move to Utah, where her family lives (from Seattle) if she agreed to read and reflect on certain documents/books that I would give her and really look at it with an open mind. It's a calculated risk, because she could read all the stuff and just say 'I still believe' and then I'm stuck in Utah with a TBM wife...but, this was really my only play. Without something I could give her, she would not agree to read any of the material.
If you're curious, here's what I gave her to read; so far she has only read the wives of joseph smith web site and I can see the wheels are starting to turn, but I don't know if it will lead her out of the church or not, we'll see.
