Listen, I converted to Islam and then I had to tell my parents who are Christians.
They were upset at first, but I gave them websites and explained the misconceptions that so many Americans seem to have. Like the 72 virgins, the fact that it's not encouraged to have 4 wives.
Find out a lot of information about Islam, because your wife will be scared because she is going to think that you will become a terrorist and have four wives, which is not true.
If you have more than one wife then you are supposed to treat them equally. If you give one a diamond ring then you have to give the other a diamond ring.
The Quran tells us that it's permissible to have 4 wives, but if you can't treat them equally then don't do it.
Also, your first wife has to give you permission. If she says no then there is nothing that you can do about.
Tell your wife, but also be prepared to clear up misconceptions. You can stay in whatever country you are living in.
Muslims live in the U.S. and are fine.
Just remember my parents were very upset, but they understand and respect my choice because I educated them on Islam.
If you have any questions then email me.

You converted to a religion without telling her and then hid it from her for a month? Oh man... there's nothing you can say or do that will make that better. That wasn't very intelligent. Its not the religion its the not talking to her about it in the first place and then hiding it.
Btw... wth is wrong with you that you converted to a religion within a month of finding out about it? Its like marrying someone after only a month of dating. Not exactly bright. Religion isn't a toy.

Wow, I guess the first thing to do is try and educate her. Maybe small steps would be best for this one. It really depends on what religion (if any) you converted from, what religion (if any) she belongs to, and how adamant she is in her belief. It might also depend on where you live - are you likely to be in any danger living as an 'out' Muslim?
I hope that 'love will out' in the end. Good luck...

Be honest with her. Learn all you can about your new choice so that when she asks a question, you can answer with knowledge and not parrot someone else's words. You don't say what her faith, if any, is. Work together to learn the truth about both your faiths. The only way to truly argue against another's religion is KNOW it. And the only way to argue for your religion is KNOW it.
Be open, honest, and don't say something in a stressful moment you can't take back. Agree to disagree.
I wish you luck.

just tell her. if you love your wife and she loves you, you will both reach an understanding. sit down with her and explain to her your views and the way you felt and what brought you to make this decision. this is a choice you made and i truly hope she will understand. be completely honest with her.
just one thing, expect her to be hurt, because if this is something that just come out of the blue she will be hurt. just never force your beliefs on her, and respect all of her reactions.

Just tell her and if she let's you explain the real points of it and explain what you see in the media is just the extremist version of it that are few and far between. Depending on her religion she might be able to see that all religions have a few cuckoos that ruin it for the rest.

Salam brother, I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEAR, BUT INSHALLAH, EVERYTHING WOULD COME EASY. Eductae your wife about islam, and through the Quran, prove to her that the misjugements of islam is wrong...if you would like take her to Saud...may Allah make it easy for you.

Was it seeing all the suicide bombers that pushed you over the edge, or was your inspiration something else?
You should probably just file for divorce. There's no way that your relationship is going to work now.
