Double the pleasure, cut the misery in half.
My lovely wife just doesn't share the same love of self-torture that bike touring does for me. She would rather sit on a sunny porch and read a good book while sipping a beverage. Go figure? To each his or her own. To me that sounds boring, I can't sit still for long. We do however go for some very pleasant weekend rides on our local rail-trail. She max's out at about 20 miles. But it's tree lined and shady with low wind and no hills. I'm considering getting her an e-bike, if she'll ride it.
