Wife stepping on speaker wire

If you try most of these suggestions you'll end up divorced like the one guy. From a woman's point of view she's probably trying to get you to hide them. Wires or cables being visible on the floor looks horrible reguardless of how nice they look. Most women spend hours putting together the decor of a room and when you have speaker wire running across the floor it destroys her dream. Run the wire under the carpet or along the side of the wall. This would solve your problem. Question, did you speak with her before laying the wires across the floor? Maybe if you did you never would of had this problem to begin with.

I don't know any back ground information, but have ya'll actually had a conversation about it (other than you "telling her not to step on your speaker wire")? If you're "telling" her to do something, chances are she'll do the exact opposit.

A small decorative bridge might work well

Place your cables off the floor with fluorescent colored paper cups and for added benefit place x-mas wire down on the floor.

Use duct tape (preferably brightly colored) to tape the cables to the floor. Serves two purposes ... protects the cable, and makes it much easier to see, all in one !
That's what we used to do with guitar and mic cables when we were gigging and it works a treat. Hardwood, tile, carpet, duct tape does it all.

Is there some sort of spray you can get to spray the floor around your cables to keep your wife away ? "Wife repellant". (perhaps beer would do it).

I thought it obvious that my comments, like those of many others, were made completely in jest. I wonder if I'm the only one who got four ... yes, FOUR ... nasty emails from Mrs. Hughes ... LOL. Personally, I'm betting she steps on more than just speaker cables (oooh, boy, now I'm gonna get more hate grams from Mrs. Hughes ... LOL).

Hey lady ... lighten up.
