Strange way to express the question(?) -- Do you believe that you can force her or anyone to believe something? When you say that 'she is a Christian, but seems to be very much lost' ... do you mean that she seems confused --- or you are not certain that she is a Christian?
Are you a Christian? Is she a Christian? --- Do you understand what a Christian is? (True Christianity has very little to do with 'religion', although, it's expression is 'religious').
In my experience over many years of marriage counseling, the most common marriage difficulty in the context of Christianity ... is
'being unequally yoked.' A Christian has a completely different world and life-view than the non-Christian. Since Christianity is a way of life, not just a religion, it's difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile a Christian and a non-Christian world view. If, however, both partners are Christians, they have a common ground upon which to build a resolution. Such a resolution typically involves more than an explanation.
