When housewives were the norm there weren't washing machines, vaccum cleaners and other services. The trophy wife lifestyle of driving the kids to school in the morning and being free most of the day wasn't the norm.

It is great if your wife can work less than 100% but don't see it as a failure if you can't live fully on one salary. Few people can do that. You make more than your wife and you have a good career, that should be able to maintain the male/female roles.

See if there is a way for her to work part time or get a job that is cushy/low stress.
