It sound sounds to me that figuring out your wife's desires has as much to do with your choice as destination. What are her needs? Marinas?, Lack of weather?, Social life? Meals out?
One can find or avoid these things in most any cruising destination. The choice of boat may also come into play. A 40 some foot cat with air conditioning and 150 fresh water supply is very different from a 32-foot monohull with a 30-gallon fresh water tank. (My budget)
I find the key to having people who sail with me having a great time is to never need to rely on them, but rather to show them a great time and make them feel useful when the can help. Knowing the area and being able to handle the boat on your own relaxes everything. Most all arguing I see on boats with couples comes from people pushing their abilities followed by closely by differences in what people expect out of a cruise. My first cruise I did solo specifically so I knew I wouldn't be reliant of crew.
My advice is to really focus on what your wife wants and what make her enjoy cruising. Provide that and the rest will come.
All the best.
