My apologizes for not responding sooner - been tied up with trying to figure out how the hell I am suppose to support myself. Anywhoo...
I noticed that you sent her an email and my first responses is that it seem like a pressure. Just my opinion... here are my thoughts..

Sorry to say but don't ya think she knows this already. Remind her IMO is a little condescending. I mean it like telling her she has not realized your position, which I think you have made clear over and over again. Have you consider her position. The words that you are using come across as pressure and a little guilt if you will. At least that is my take.

Why would you remind her of YOUR weakness? Why are you putting her on a pedal-stool? IMO..your almost saying "honey i can deal with everything you do and everything you have done because you are wonderful...just wonderful. As a matter of fact honey...you even dealt with all of my weakness".
Seriously CH - you and your W brought you to the place that you find yourself. Accept your role in this and fix that. Your wife has a role as well - you do not need to exonerate her for her role.
CH I am sorry to say...I'm worried about you dude. I am. I understand that you want to be right with God. So do I man..I do..I am just worried that you may be throwing yourself on her sword. Your email comes across like a little bit of a guilt trip to your W. I do not know what her R is with God - but if she does not have one..then all your words to her will be seen as controlling. Personally, I would cut off communication with her completely. If you are going to leave it in God's hands then you do not need to say anything.
Just my 2 cents.
God Bless, Eric
