And why should they? GA flying is quite dangerous compared to driving. Their
fear is only rational.

This is the exact reason that I have encouraged EVERY student I have ever
taught to fly who had a family to sit down early and involve the family in
the decision.

Good advice.

Informed wives are better prepared to handle aviation than uninformed wives.

Indeed. Alas, many are misinformed, deliberately or otherwise. They may be
told that the drive to the airport is more dangerous than the flight. True
for driving vs. scheduled airline travel; profoundly untrue for driving vs.
private flying.
