I know this is not what you want to hear but I really do highly suggest that you research Islam; not your wife's perspective. You have to independently research the truth. By becoming Muslim it is not like you "leave" Christianity; it is a progression of Christianity and what was once truth. The Bible was tampered with countless times, and the last straw was the Trinity so God sent down one last prophet with the complete truth (Muhamad). Islam is beautiful and there is a lot of leeway in terms of how you interpret the religion; it doesn't dictate your every move unless you let it. The main things that never change are the Quran and the oneness of God. To become Muslim all you have to say is La ila ha ila la (wa Muhamad ar rasulla la) which means there is no god but God (and Muhamad is his messenger). Here are some informative websites;

I pray that your journey to the right path be of ease and success. Perhaps it's time to venture into new territory? :) Peace.

She has already made the mistake as a muslim girl should not marry a non-muslim, the other way round is possible, though.
However, now there is a family and divorce would mean destroying the family and it is not in the best interest of the children. A recent fatwa - I think of Yussuf Al-Qaradawy - states that the marriage can go on, everyone holding on to their belief. However, I am not sure what would happen to the children.
You can check. Hope you can read Arabic!
Peace

Religions don't seem to mix very well no matter what the circumstances or how good it looked at some point in the past. I don't have a good solution for you because there isn't one. I can only say that religion causes more problems than it solves. And you're living proof of that. Life Lesson #142: Never mix beliefs where children are involved.

Your best (and likely ONLY) course in this situation is to move on (ie, divorce).
Christianity and Islam are fundamentally opposed to each other. What of Christianity would you be willing to compromise or forsake for another person (over the will of God)? What of Islam would you want her to compromise or forsake for you? You are BOTH in a no-win situation.
"Conversion" is meaningless and a lie to God in the absence of FAITH. She wants a divorce or for YOU to convert to Islam? Hmm. What is her answer if you say for HER to convert to Christianity? I thought so.
This is one of those times in life that we have to give up something (someone) because it (she) conflicts with a higher purpose.
I'll add you to my prayers. God bless and strengthen you.

So you are saying she has a problem with you not converting to something you don't believe in? Congratulations on being back on the game.
And as far as your children go, they should be able to take their own decision as to what they want to believe when they are old enough and it actually matters, at this point they will only believe whatever is presented to them as the truth.

Oh god it's starting. It's the new terrorist attack on America.
Get good looking Muslim women to marry our men and convert them to Islam. Wow... they're pretty smart after all I guess.

You need a divorce. Because that is your religion and you dont need to change that for some chick. Not cool. Or just dont have kids and keep your religions.

:(
I cant seem to find a way out of this
If you love her you gotta compromise and let her have the kids in Islam or educate them in both religions and then let them decide.
Or divorce :(

why can't the kids learn about BOTH and make up his or her own mind when he/she feels the need to?
no need for a divorce. you married a woman. not a religion. she is more than a religion. (you might need to reiterate this to her)
