scupper-
whatever you do...make sure the mrs. can sail/handle the boat as well as you, and make sure she has input into the boat buying process. Cruising as a couple will leave you or her effectively singlehanding the boat for long periods of time...so you want to make sure that she likes the boat and can sail it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
