Teaching a loved one to sail

There is a lotta "feel" that goes into this that I cannot explain.
Just as you would send your daughter to a good driver training class,
rather than try to teach her how to drive, yourself, and ruining your
relationship with her....wouldn't it be prudent, not to mention a smooth
move to save a marriage, to send the wife to a good sailing school to
learn how to sail?
DO NOT FORCE HER, which will never work. She might not like sailing at
all, but doesn't want to hurt your feelings....any more than you do
because YOU don't like to go shopping for clothes, like she loves.
ONLY if she's truly interested in boats and sailing....should she be
sailing with a crusty old pirate like YOU...shouting orders and cursing
like Captain Blythe from his lofty perch to the slaves on the deck below,
anyways.
(I'm betting she's not interested, never having laid eyes on her.)

Europe!
