hello @Steven355 ,
it will appear in your dasboard as a request or as an inquiry. These are rather basics of the Airbnb platform, so i suggest you consult the HELP pages for some essential information, like:
https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/28/what-do-i-do-after-i-receive-a-reservation-request
Also be sure to understand the concept of "Instant Book":
https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/523/what-is-instant-book
(If you change ". com" to ".de" in the given links, info will be in German language)
You could consider to make your wife the "co-host" (consult HELP about it) or you can create a profile with your both names and add a picture of you both.
best regards, Emiel
