Couple suggestions, cycle the action a lot to smooth it up. The Mossberg I had was quite notchy compared to my Winchester 870.
Also, get some dummy rounds and practice cycling with shells in the magazine. Takes more force and feels different than empty cycling. Your wife especially might not rack the action forcefully enough to chamber a shell.
And of course, get out and shoot with the thing. Have to be familiar with it in operation.

Remington 870 I assume you meant. Fine weapon!

Ya, it is a bit stiff to cycle. That’s a good idea to get it cycling ...

The slide action on that thing was so tight, I figured it never had that many rounds fired through. The racking noise was so loud you could hear every action, ejection port opening, loading bail, hammer cocking. Once your familiar with the sound of a 97 rack--it stays with you, unless it's worn, I've seen actions on 97's "fall open".
