Another point...how many guys in his position marry someone as accomplished as a doctor? All these years, she's been working towards a REAL career. A serious one, that takes years of intense study, and that study doesn't stop once you get a job.
I'd bet a lot of money she gets pregnant and that's the end of her full time medical career. Most women would rather be stay at home moms than try to balance work and motherhood, PROVIDED that they have the means to live a very comfortable life, and she clearly has that.
