In writing about Atticus and his wife as they were before having children, his character should not differ too greatly from how it is demonstrated in his relationship with his children. After all, since his wife is so much younger than he, there is probably somewhat of a fatherly attitude on his part toward his wife. A patient and gentle man, Atticus, too, will demonstrate these qualities in his role as husband. Another salient quality of Atticus is his protective nature, so it seems logical, also, that he would be reasonable with this wife.
There is little doubt that Mrs. Finch was an intelligent and pensive woman as both children exhibit these traits. Because it is often the case that the son is more like his mother than the daughter, you may wish to portray her as similar to Jem, especially in the idealism and sympathies of Jem.
