Is it possible for my wife and I to purchase a home in both names when she has a bankruptcy just discharged?

My wife has just had a bankruptcy discharged. I have excellent credit. We want to buy a home in both of our names. I qualify for a VA loan, but I am told she cannot apply for 2 years. We would like for her income to be included and I want her name on the loan/deed. Is this possible? Should I try for a conventional loan?
