I was recently saved and my spouse is not. I have no desire to go and do the things we once did. For example, going to bars. Any suggestions on how I'm going to let her know I still Love her but this isn't somewhere I fell comfortable anymore. She was once a christian and has fallen as I did. I'm afraid this will break apart our family.

I agree with Pray4Israel when they said that a strong but consistent example should be shown. For actions alone will show her the true road to rightousness.
Pray constently and God will show you the path to help her to also be saved. Sometimes it takes a little humbling on her part also.
I know this because I was also just saved. It started right before Thanksgiving of 2002. My husband has sleep apnia--which is where he stops breathing while he is asleep--. He was sitting on the sofa and had been ill for almost 2 weeks with the flue. He started coughing and we-my daughters and I- thought that he had just fallen asleep again from the hard work that he does during the day. Just then, in the midst of his coughing spasm, he went into convulsions. I and our oldest daughter who is 16 yelled at him to try to get his awareness back. Our youngest daughter whom is 9 yrs thought that her father was just asleep, so she started laughing. Until she had saw his color change and felt the sincerity in our voices. I then reached over to smack him on the side--which I was told by the ICU nurse, this was a good thing-since his convulsions were respitory arrest, she told me the next step would have been cardiac. He then came back to awareness and we immediately took him to the Emergency room. While checking him in, the triage nurse noticed that his blood oxygen level was only 64%, which is very low. She then called and told the head of ER that she was goin to bring him back immediately.
They then took xrays of his chest to find out that he had contracted Double Pneumonia. From there he was admitted to the hospital ICU unit for 3 days, and spent another week in the hospital.
I had almost lost my husband of 19 yrs. I knew then that I had to be strong for the family. But thinking, who is goin to hold me up and make me strong? After my husband had gotten out of the hospital, our oldest had a Christmas pagent at her church that she has been attending for almost 3 yrs now. This was on December 11th. Near the end of the pagent, the Reverand had asked if anyone would like to pray silently with him a special prayer to ask God for forgiveness, and to allow Jesus into your life. Both my husband and I had done this that night.
Now the question has been answerd to who is goin to make me strong. It takes humbling, and sometimes it takes a tragidy to wake others up in order to accept the Lord as your Savior. I know that it took a strong blow to my heart to come to him. And I am thankful that it was that way.
We have sinced joined our daughters church by becoming members. She is elated because in her testimony that she is to give this coming up Sunday, she has prayed for us to come for almost 2 years now. And she feels that her prayers were answerd.

Hmm...I enjoy just being with my wife and loving on her. I think a nice evening of attention and love and cuddles would outrank an evening at the bar any day for a woman. This is a way to work around the issue of what you don't want to do and may avoid arguing about it. Go on walks. Try to be creative and loving, romantic and stuff. This may not be the instant cure, but maybe it will begin to move you two in a positive direction regarding your concerns.
Well, that's my .02.
