Try storing your passwords in a safety deposit box. Choose to do this
either:

1. On paper, or

2. In a plain text file on a CD or USB key, or

3. Encrypted with a GnuPG key that has an empty passphrase (which even a spouse
can remember :-))

This approach won't protect your passwords from a mastermind criminal,
but in the other 99.99% of cases it should be fine. Better than
causing your spouse no end of grief.

While you've got the safety deposit box open, add a complete backup of
your important files. Refresh the backup on a regular schedule.
