Are there any two player co-op games that aren't violent?

I'd like to encourage my wife to play video games with me but she really doesn't like violence in entertainment. That got me thinking about what two-player co-op games that aren't violent that I might get her to participate in. Racing games aren't really an option as cars don't interest her either. Years ago I got her to play Ecco the Dolphin and that's kind of up her alley. Perhaps Saturn Bomberman (it's cartoony violence which is okay) but can you think of any others?

I could get her to play Wii Sports (we have at a friend's house) if we only had a Wii...... (which is not in the budget right now).

My wife is obsessed with Lego Star Wars.
I guess you could consider it violent, but everything is acted out with Lego pieces.
It's suitable for kids, so I don't see an issue

Anyway, her and I play the game together and the main draw is solving puzzles together to progress through the levels.
Combat is just a bonus

The wife and I play Scene It Lights, Camera, Action for the 360. Were both movie buffs and it was a easy way to get 1000 achievement points

My wife also likes games like burnout.. she loves crashing cars into things..

Puzzle versus on split screen is usually a good option. Tetris, Puzzle Fighter, Lumines... etc. Also, shmups are fun 2-player co-op.

Man if my wife played shmups with me she would be the perfect woman..

The NES tengen tetris has a co-op option, that'll make her hate either games, tetris, you or all of them.
