Hi Morris,

I would first research paintings of nudes to be able to show the woman the kind of tasteful, graceful work you have in mind for her.

Unless your client is very sure of her husband's gentle nature, I'd try to convince the woman to involve her husband in the process. He could either supply ideas or be there for the actual photo shoot. I know a sculptor who always has a third party in the room when he works with women.

My other advice is to be sure you would be able to find the woman attractive and to paint her that way. Personally, I think this is a key, visceral component of any good portrait painting. "Attractive" doesn't mean perfect or young. The older your client the more compassion you should show to her. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job.
