Absolutely don't act on it, that's for sure. FA covered it all really well, so I second everything he says.

My advice as to what you should do is this:
Make a strict rule that you will never be alone with your sister in law.
Make another rule that you will have your wife with you any time you spend more than a few minutes with your sister in law.
Keep the friendship on the friendly level.
You and I both know that there is no way any happiness can come to you by pursuing your sister in law romantically. On the other hand good friendly relationships with your in laws will give you a wealth of happiness in the years to come.
Now as to losing interest in your wife. Often times losing interest is a result of having finished the chase. This is very common to feel in the first few years of marriage. What came so easily during courtship, requires work in a marriage. Keep taking your wife out on dates. Buy presents. Make sure your life is centered on her. Be a stand up bloke for her. People in long term marriages are happier and live longer.
