Police have determined the man killed his wife and then himself days before officers arrived.
Their identities have not been released.
Investigators are probing the motive but believe it likely involved intimate partner violence.
Police say the couple had lived in Bradford for several decades and revealed officers had never been called to the home in the past.
"Given the sensitive nature of what has taken place, no further information will be released," the police service stated on Monday.
