I often recommend steel framed bike over aluminum or carbon
fiber but in your case a "light" bike will cost some real
money as they're out there. Ask you wife to go with you to
a LBS to see if she can handle a bike made of aluminum if
that fails then titanium or carbon fiber is all that's
left. Whatever you do....DON"T buy a bike until you find out
for sure just how much your wife can lift or handle.

Keep in mind that nothing rides a good as steel but for
short rides it won't matter. All the best of luck & keep
riding,mate.
