As a Christian wife I say, do not go down the redpill rabbit hole of the dread game advocated by the previous poster. You have only to look at its roots to see what fruit it would bear. Christ didn’t love His church through manipulation and gaslighting, and it’s no way to love a wife.

Gently, but firmly, set a time limit to find a Godly church agreeable to her. If she can’t find one to commit to, then you need to lead and pick one yourself. God needs to come first in your relationship. If you haven’t been spending time with your wife and the Lord outside of a church setting, you need to remedy that, posthaste. If she won’t do that, you need to make sure she sees you doing so on your own. You have to be mature enough to discern her true needs (friendship, spiritual connection, etc) and be solicitous to them while guiding her away from that which is not essential.

If at some point it comes to counseling, don’t let her pick a counselor on her own. There are good, Christian therapists out there, but you need to pick them carefully out of a field filled with misandrists. Don’t send her off on her own if it can be avoided, but accompany her to the sessions.

I've already got this worked out. I have a counselor from well before we got married, not a misandrist. In fact, that I found her was God's guiding hand, of that I am 100% certain.

I read a lot, but had never heard of the dread game. So I looked it up.

Just wow. The word “reprobate” comes to mind.
