Mr67Stang,
Take it from me, don't try to teach your wife. I've been there, done that. I've also seen other pilots at my field try to teach their wives. Usually doesn't turn out too well. Get another instructor to teach her. You'll be happier with that in the long run. Trust me!!!!
Complete agreement on this one. When my wife got here she needed to learn to drive (she's from a big city in another country and never needed to drive). I arranged for a pro to teach her and only after he'd given her a few lessons would I let her get behind the wheel. When I would point out an error she'd get huffy. I started making sure I was around when she got back from driving lessons so I could chat with the instructor. Sure enough, he had been trying to correct the same errors!
