Quitting your job is the key, grasshopper...

If you had a climbing wife, I doubt that she'd want to give up her other partners and tailor her goals to your interests, either. Isn't that why you have multiple partners in the first place, so that *one* of them will want to do whatever trip you have in mind? And if you had a climbing wife, your pace might hold her back instead of the other way around.
