Patience is key, but sometimes just listening goes a long way. I've tried to buy tandems before and my wife refuses to ride one.
The good news though, is we really enjoy riding together. She is "very" physically fit and can most often dust me on rides up to thirty miles or so.
I just try to keep up with her until she gets back into the 15-18 mph range and then we can settle in for an day ride.
Whatever you do, try to make sure your wife is enjoying the time together. Isn't that the most important thing?
