Got any advice on getting a reluctant wife to fly?

Have her ask her doctor for a prescription for generic Xanax.

The first time SWMBO flew with me, she was in tears. With the drugs, she
just calmly reads or watches a video, manages the water bottle, fixes a
few snacks. We're not quite up to scanning for traffic or listening to ATC
yet, but there is hope.
Once, I did a go around after gusting X winds blew the 182 so far off the
centerline. It creeped me out, but when we were on the ground she just
asked "Were we supposed to do that?".


Not a bad idea. She has less aversion to drugs than small aircraft.
