I've said a prayer for you and your wife. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Since all of this started, I've been struggling as well. Not with depression, but with anxiety. Currently in a bad bout of it right now. The state of the world and the total uncertainty of our futures has me extremely stressed and scared.
All I can say is to take solace in your wife. Focus on her, and on reconnecting, and on making both of you feel better. Find things to do together, places to go, things to see. If money is an issue (it is for me), I highly recommend rock hounding. It's only as expensive as you make it and can even be as cheap as the cost of gas to get you where you want to look. Plus it's good exercise, too.
Maybe take up swimming this Summer, or start going on walks together every day. Start small and set small goals, then new ones when you accomplish those.
Also, if you're having marital problems, the absolute best thing you two can do is to sit down and put everything out there with the intention of tackling any problems together as a unit. It's not easy being with someone that's depressed, just as it's not easy being depressed yourself. You two can start trying to heal together, and I wish you all the luck in that. :]
Prayers for you too from us, fren! Long walks when the weather is decent is a cheap date, but if we get into town then a little ice cream or soda float is a nice pick-me-up.
