It's a tricky situation, and how you go about it depends on whether you can live a life where you lie to yourself and your wife for the sake of the marriage and your love for eachother.
I will say that if you are thinking of having kids, then you need to have this discussion before that happens. I can guarantee that if you ignore the issue, and have kids, it will come up during their upbringing and it has a good chance of being much worse than if you discussed it beforehand.
I will also point you to a few clips from the Atheist Experience where they talk to a caller about just this issue, and they have some good points.
