A blog's design, if done incorrectly, will distract from the text, drawing your eye continuously away. This makes the content harder to read and that in turn decreases focus and thought on what is trying to be said. However, as a marketing professional myself, I do agree with your wife that GOOD design is extremely beneficial to draw people to the site and have them coming back. And that doesn't mean snazzy graphics. In my mind it is a clean, sleek and simple style that draws your eye to the text, and the text is in a clear easily readable font. The easier and more natural it is to read, the less your brain struggles to process, and thus the more absorption of content. Yes.
