Me (31M) (non-religious) and my wife (27F) (Christian) are not doing well.

I think you are handling the situation as best as you can. I think she is handling it as best as she can.

If your wife is a serious Christian, this will always be an issue for both of you.

You are not being hostile to her praying, which is a good thing. It would make her life miserable if she couldn't mention it at all.

You are also not prohibiting the kids from learning about God so she has some relief there.

I think her angst is coming from a deep desire to connect with you. When something is so important to you and you feel like you can't share it "truly" with your SO it makes you feel isolated.

I think you two can make it work. I think you should talk to her about it and hear her side of things. Maybe you two can come to a better understanding of one another.
