I do not want PVP, and I want to be able to play and then stop for a few months without losing my house due to item decay.

I would like it to be where me and my wife can play together, or seprately but in the same map/game and join our items/efforts.

I do not want to generically fight monsters, craft and then basically that's it. is there any story? NPCs other than monsters to be killed?

Is this that game?

you level your skills, you die, you lose a little of the points to random skills, your character never levels itself, no quests... which is nice in my opinion.
