First non-pilot passenger

My wife is the opposite. She'd much rather fly in a high wing than a low.
She sat in an Archer once, and although she liked the roomier cockpit she
didn't like the wing being in the way of looking down at the ground. But,
she wasn't comfortable with the size of a C152 cockpit either, but said
she'd give it try.

My wife will not fly with me,
but I'm still hopeful that that day will be sooner rather than later.

This is so sad, but not uncommon. Care to elaborate on her reasons?

My wife doesn't like the idea that she cannot just get out if she
feels
uncomfortable, ie. in a car, you just pull over to the side of the road
and
get out, one cannot do this in a plane. I've often thought that the only
way
to get over this fear/issue is to have her learn to fly a plane, this way
she'd know exactly what is going on. She's never sat inside my C152 (too
small) and I don't thing she's that fond of a high-wing, since you're
hanging below the wing. She's been inside an Aztec and a Beech Travelair
and
those she felt a bit better in, but she never actually flew. I think I'll
need a low-wing before she'll go up with me. I think a bit of
claustrophobia
as well, so it would need lots of windows, or at least large ones. She's
said that the Trinidad looked like a nice airplane (because of the large
windows) but that's a bit out of the price range right now.
