I too converted the wife to med rare from well done. It was a process! She used to hate pulled pork, but now she loves it if I pile it up on a skillet, add some sauce and cover the pile to brown/steam. Put that on a roll with some cole slaw and she thinks it's wonderful. A work in progress.That's how it works. Though I was able to convert my wife from a well done type to a medium rare type. It took some doing, but I no longer have to turn her steaks into leather.
