Location often determines how quickly you can expect to find a job. I don't know what the St. Louis job market is like, though, but probably not fantastic? You can consider determining whether the bug is with St. Louis or with some (improvable) aspect of your employability.

Would you suggest testing this theory by just applying at extended locations?
Why not? Seems like a natural step. If you get an offer and your wife still won't budge, at least you know you're employable and that it could very well be a geographic issue.
You could also check hiring freelancers or remote work ok jobs.
I would be ok with both of those but I was hoping to rely a little on the development culture of the work area to help me get settled into how professional development works.
If I take a freelance job, they'll likely expect me to do frontend work or GUI work which in all honesty I am terrible with.
