Anyone successful in convincing a risk-adverse spouse to agree to a PG?

I am looking for any successful financial "selling" tools or messaging that has helped searchers get their spouses comfortable with a personal guarantee required by the SBA, most conventional loans, even most large seller notes.
I would rather not buy small with large amounts of equity injection and scale over years if possible and am looking to better communicate the impact of different best/worst case financial models to apply a qualitative perspective to the risk of buying a business.
I am also fully aware of the strain a PG could put on a marriage/relationship and am not looking to convince my spouse at all costs to buy a business. I am willing to give up the dream of business ownership if I can't get her on board but I don't think I have done a good job communicating the weighted risk/reward of taking on a PG assuming a relatively sound business is being purchased.
