Is your main motivation to workout to please your wife?
theres a fine line, its one thing to not let your wife walk all over you, its quite another to intentionally ignore her and piss her off. Thats a quick way to a miserable marriage.
Its important to communicate and take her wishes into consideration, even if it only LOOKS like youre trying to compromise, it makes them feel like you half ass give a shit about them.
If youre constantly going against her without talking aboug it/finding a middle ground, youll be miserable really quick.
