Wife modules, sometimes called "argument modules", can be difficult to deal with. A lot of patience is required. ;)
xyrtek:
Are the contacts under the PCB or on the side?
If the contacts are under, then maybe try to use a nozzle like the one in the pic to control the air. Obviously tape/protect nearby components and use good flux.
It really depends on how much copper is on that PCB area.
At the very least I would (if possible with solder wick for ex) try to remove some of the solder and replace it with rework low temp alloy solder.
No idea how to help with the wife, you are on your own on that one ;D

booyeah:
Masking the rest of the board with a layer or two of kapton tape is usually pretty effective.
The really difficult bit is when there's black gunk adhesive as well under there like in a lot of phones and tablets.
