As a wife, I strongly suggest APPRECIATING her and SHOWING it. Let her know how much you appreciate her support of your aikido practice, and that her support allows your to do something extremely important. Unexpected little acts of kindness are important. Bring her flowers occassionaly; cook her dinner without her knowing about it; clean a room of the house; be in a good mood and not sulky. Lots of little things help.
best wishes,
