We found co-op games were best. We ended up enjoying Gauntlent: Dark Legacy; Dungens & Dragons (XBOX); Champions of Norrath; Baulders Gate; and the like.
If you start with co-op in the game you both tend to stay the same level or so.
We did find that we started competing on who had the most gold. But that wasn't direct. Oh yeah, share the weapons you don't need. Sometimes you get the mighty mighty sword of death, right after you got the super mighty lighning shadow numchucks, you won't use them both, so give her something cool.
But most importantly, you are playing with her. So, let her make some of the desisions. Let her make mistakes and learn from them. DON'T BE YOUR USUAL "SMART" SELF AND POINT OUT ALL THE WAYS SHE COULD BE BETTER. She isn't playing a game. She is spending time with you.
Outside of the ARPG realm, we also enjoyed Super Bust a Move quite a bit.
Oh, I don't know about all women, but my wife absolutley refuses to take any handicap when we play competivtly. I smack her down, and she gets right back up. Now it's hard a hell to beat her.

Very Nice.
Well there is a good argument for clear consice coding as a part of proper software design.
Imagine that, fixing security holes "by magic" as a side effect to making easy to understand code.
I bet that M$ code is a fine mess.
@dolphinling, It's 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
;) Then you might have 11.
Unless of course you count those who think they do.
My wife and I were in this very same situation.
