You and your wife can go to the exit-entry administrative bureau of Guangzhou together to apply for a 1 year residence permit for family visit, once you get it, you can exit and enter China for many times during its validity. Please take the marriage certificate, your passport, your wife's ID card or Chinese passport, household registration booklet or sheet

Bob is talking about this new Family Visit Visa/Residence Permit, which is specifically issued to those with direct Chinese relatives in China. It is somehow different from a regular China visa. FYI: https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/visa/family-visit-permit.htm
Taking your wife with you is not necessary, but it will be helpful, especially when this is your first time to apply for this resident permit.
