Before asking a question here, please use the search feature of Reddit, Google, or another search engine to make sure your question hasn't already been asked and answered. This topic has been discussed many times in past threads. The most commonly recommended pieces of advice for getting a spouse on board are to refer to this with a term such as "emergency preparedness" rather than prepping because prepping has negative connotations, focus on realistic common scenarios like power outages and severe weather rather than vague dangers like "SHTF" or extremely low-likelihood events like nuclear war, and start with the minimal recommendations from a website like ready.gov because almost everyone would agree with the need for basic supplies like flashlights, a first aid kit, and an emergency radio.
