Welcome to the community, Hedufigo.
It sounds to me as though your wife is clearly writing "Women's Fiction."
Women's fiction is an umbrella term for women centered books that
focus on women's life experience that are marketed to female readers,
and includes many mainstream novels. It is distinct from Women's
writing, which refers to literature written by (rather than promoted
to) women.
Edit:
I am not certain why this answer is being down voted.
Three hundred and eighty four literary agents (384) on AgentQuery self-identify as representing "Women's fiction" and it is clearly defined on many writer blogs, agencies, and so on. Barnes and Noble has an entire section for Women's Fiction. Many authors write Women's Fiction. In fact, there is a writer's association specifically for Women's Fiction.
If men want a "Men's Fiction" genre, the way to get it is not to say that "Women's Fiction" does not exist. That's veering quite close to mysogyny.
You can't simply say that something doesn't exist--when that thing has dedicated writers, agents, associations, awards, and so on and so forth.
This is beyond bizarre to me.
Original poster, your description is very clearly Women's Fiction,
And there are 384 agents that represent the sort of book your wife is writing. It is a recognized genre.
