Try the direct way instead of the network-browser:
From the Finder: Go > Connect to Server...
In the Server Address field, enter the IP address of your wife's computer.
It should prompt you for a username and account password. This should be the same username and password that she uses to log into her MBA.
Ta-dah. This finally worked. Thanks for this.
I'm still confused as to the rules of Sharing, but no need to dig further. What finally worked was to first set up a User account (standard) in Users&Groups, which shouldn't be required, but I figured I'd try that. Then when I went to Sharing, that User account showed up in Users column, instead of selecting me from her Contacts list (which was an option).
Thanks all for the help.
