This reminded me of an old English idiom/euphamism: "How's your father"
It's old now...I think it was popular 1940's to 1970's...so Grandparents would understand it... "A bit of how's your father" = "sexy time!"

Being from england i know of that idiom lol, although i am no grandparent. Far from it in fact.

We do say, "how's it going?", but I ve never heard anyone use that with any noun but "it" where that means life in general or a particular task. "How goes your wife" doesn't really make any sense.

In other lessons "a sua" sometimes meant "your" or "his/her", why is in this case the only correct solution "your"?

I had asked before; What If this was a newspaper headline: "Perdem o seu dinheiro!" Whose money have they lost?
Now I understand that it would mean: "They lose your money" If the headline = "They lose her money"....I guess it would have to be: "Perdem o deneiro della!" ?
