I’ve taught both of my daughters to drive manuals and both have fun with it. Don’t let the wife stop you from buying a manual. She can learn and may end up loving it. Take her to an autox. She may end up loving that too!

I tried. She did it one time. Was actually pretty good for a first try. About 15-20 minutes in an empty parking lot. Didn't stall once. Then she stopped the car. turned off the ignition, handed me the keys, and said "Nope, not happening". That was 1995. Now I'm looking at a second car, something fun to drive, and she said "Fine, but with one condition: it has to be an automatic".
