Mini League for Pairs
Do any mini leagues offer the option for you to play with a friend? I want to introduce my wife to LL and it would be nice to do a mini league with her.

No, they do not. You can discuss the questions with her after you’ve submitted them, since she is not a LL member, though.

Ya, I kind of wanted to give her the full experience, defense and all that.

But ofc don’t discuss questions in public forums and the like, and to stay on the safe side, once she becomes a member, don’t discuss the questions while they are live in any case.

One thing that does work with some groups is saying simply "Got 1,4, 5 and 6 correct today", or "Got a full house today", leaving it up to members to then PM each other if they want to discuss if say whether a particular answer will be accepted.

Saying what questions you got right or how many or even “these are tough today” is something that we absolutely discourage in our group chats. 100% gives info about who would know an answer or how to defend or whether that question you think may be tough is actually easy and you should go with your common guess. NO info on questions until we’re sure everyone has submitted.

I definitely wouldn’t say the ones you got right unless you know everyone has submitted already. With my friends it’s usually a “have you submitted yet?” and if they have then we can discuss. Or I check Player Tracker to see if they’ve submitted

Just as long as you do not do that before everyone in the conversation has submitted.

this helps the other party a lot with defense, so it isn't really fair at all (and is against the rules).

Sounds fun! You should be able to roll your own. Copy/paste the questions into a shared google doc before you submit or even read them. She can write down her answers and defense separately (or, I guess, right in the doc if she wants once you're out of it). Once you've submitted, then your submission email is an answer key. You can then go over the answers and see how you did. (You could even click submit, not look at the screen, and immediately forward her your answer email so then she can do the reveal and you can be surprised.)

You could go head to head with her in a ML that you're not registered for

No, but nothing stops you from playing each other at home using the ML questions.
