Help with Wheat bread recipe

I use a very basic recipe to make sandwich bread.  When I use regular unbleached flour it always seems to turn out fine but when I try to use Whole wheat flour I have so much trouble getting it to rise properly.


3C      flour
1tsp    salt
2tsp    yeast
4tsp    gluten
1Tbsp honey
2Tbsp oil
1C     water


By adding the gluten and using half regular flour and half whole wheat I got a pretty decent rise but when I use just wheat then I just cannot get a good rise.  I made a loaf last night and when I was kneading it seemed to be doing well but then the 2nd rise just went nowhere, even when I left it overnight to see if it would eventually get there.  I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to cooperate.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
