If I were picking five for you, I would suggest:

Battle Line (i think it has more depth and is better than lost cities)
Dominion
Summoner Wars or Claustrophobia (both confrontational fantasy style games with streamlined rules and good tactical depth. Whichever sounds better to you and your wife)
Agricola or Stone Age(stone age is a better intro, but agricola has more depth and works better with 2p imo)
Pandemic

I think from there you would get a really good idea of the type of games you and your wife enjoy and can go from there.

One encouraging thing as well, board games hold their value very well. Games from the list I gave and most good games in general can easily be traded for other games in the case you do not like them. They can usually be sold for 60-70% of what you paid for them (assuming you buy them online and get free shipping) and sometimes more if you have it for a while and sell it between print runs or when it is out of print.
