well, what you need to do is insure that you are in control of the 
emissions, that you can assure that you are there when the 
transmissions are taking place, you are responsible for what goes on 
the air, etc. If, for example, someone illegal operation starts like, 
let's say, profanity, you can stop it, or if your station exhibits 
some out of band operation which the operator is responsibility for, 
like out-of-band operation, like if you as a technician class go to 
the general class band and operate, that's illegal though the non 
licensed operator may not know that.
someone else driving your car is a good simile, except there, it's 
your insurance and the person driving should be licensed, unlike a 
third-party talking over the air.
She shouldn't call CQ, for example, since it isn't you, the operator 
wanting communications, it is someone unlicensed calling for any 
station, and  spirit of helping the person obtain an amateur license 
should have some weight, or cause some interest rather than just 
operating a husband's station whenever he is on the air. I'd say use 
some common sense, that is always a good rule of thumb since the 
rules aren't explicit about third party operation just enough to say 
that you as the station operator should be in control of the 
emissions at all times.
