Scenario #1-
You:"Set!"

Scenario #2-
Dirty trout bum instructor:"SET! SET! SET!!!!"
Wifey Giggles)"Darn! I missed another one! This is so exciting!"

X10!!! As a girl I can really vouch for this! Unless you are a really patient guy prepare for some bickering and possibly crying. We do not like our husbands/boyfriends telling us what to do. We are sensitive creatures. Have her get lessons from a guide!
To be fair I completely understand that the constant tangles and such when teaching new person is frustrating. But it's a different dynamic when it is your wife. My husband taught me and he is not very patient. Turned out ok though as I'm now a fly fishing fanatic but could have gone a lot smoother.
That's great though that she wants to learn
she will most likely love it then no more fights about how much gear your buying!
