Ive just read something similar on another post, mentioning about a break servo? that its not registering enough pressure on the break to start the engine?
Is this a possibility? and how is this fixed?

Have you thought that Mrs actually didn't depress the brake pedal properly? - I got a call at work once - 'I'm stranded - your bloody car wont start' - when I asked had she pressed the pedal, not hovered a foot over it, it started

I'd leave it a while before convincing yourself of a fault. If the brake pedal has been depressed before being applied for a start it will take more of a shove during the start. Typically people instinctively press the pedal after a seat adjustment or sometime just to get themselves comfy.
