Tryin,

I think you should go to the family events, but insist that your wife join everyone for fun family games. For example...

- Zombie apocalypse. Your wife plays the zombie.
- Pin the tale on the donkey. Your wife is the donkey.
- Whack-a-mole. Your wife is the mole.
- Cops and robber. Your wife is the robber and must resist arrest.
- Human piñata. Your wife hands out candy every time she gets whacked.

You get the idea. It can be great family fun as well as a learning experience.
