You will have no problem! I bought my boxster a few months ago having never drivin a standard in my life. I flew from New Orleans to Dallas then drove the boxster back alone. I was comfy with the tactict from driving dirtbikes, 3 wheelers, and 4 wheelers, but with a few minutes of practice, you can learn in a jiffy. I have since driven a BMW z4 and a honda civic, and they are both much more forgiving. If possible, practice on something else, if not, you will be fine.
Your old lady, however, may be another story. Mine has tried on 3 occasions before she said "I hate that stupid car and I will not learn anything with that fearful look on your face." No problem here.
