That's funny, I always read the newspaper in the bathroom. And I never dryfire.

My wife was not a shooter either. I took her out and let her shoot some of my pistols, a .38 snubbie, 9MM 1911 and a Ruger .22. She said she only liked the .22 and despised my snubbie. I then contacted a lady CHL instructor at CC for a one hour familiarization class, one-on-one feminine day at the range. I asked the instructor to let her shoot several styles of pistols and let me know what she felt comfortable shooting. The wife came home after shooting a M19 .357, PPK .380 and 2 9MM semis. She didn't care for 3 of the 4, and they were all the semis. She liked the double action .357. The weight and ease of shooting it with a cocked hammer appealed to her. She now has her own Ruger 65 shooting .38 HD loads. I think giving her that afternoon away from me was the best bet.

Good luck.
