In another sentence, it says 'Bojíš se o tvoji manželku?' .... What difference does it make to use 'o' or not to use it? (In sense of meaning/translation of the word). Thank you in advance!
'Bojíš se o tvoji manželku?' = Accusative?
'Bojím se své manželky.' = Genitive?

That's correct.
"bát se o něco" vs. "bát se něčeho" vs. "bát se udělat něco"
"to be afraid for something" vs. "to be afraid of something" vs. "to be afraid to do something"

Can you explain why do we need to difference between genitive and accusative in this case?

See my comment above. o něco is accusative and něčeho is genitive. The meaning is different.
