A non-convinced wife is justified in her skepticism.  Digital is not
justifiable on the basis of image quality or price.  Speed and convenience
can justify it, if these take priority over quality and cost.  It all
depends on your priorities ...

Initial cost:  Film
Continuing cost:  Digital
Speed:  Digital
Image quality:  Film
Prints:  Film
Web:  Digital
E-mail:  Digital
Publication:  (either)

... and so on.
