Yes, just port forward (if your router has this capability) on the
source IP address (ranges) that you desire.  Some routers only give you
an all or none option though, so in that case you can use other security
options, like tcpwrappers on the server (I don't know if your server is
windows or linux-based).  Otherwise, you'll start finding lots of
logging info indicating failed SSH dictionary attacks login attempts.

Make sure you configure AllowUsers with only yours and your wifes login
names.
