Marriage is hard enough. Bring another person into the equation and something's gotta give.
It would be great if marriage were like other relationships where we had different people in our lives to fill different needs, but hundreds of years of relationship evolution hasn't seemed to change the dynamics much.
Just as more than one of anything divides our attention, more than one lover will do the same.
The bottom line is, I suppose, the question of what are you and she willing to give up should she pursue 'outside interests'. And if your answer is 'nothing', then say so.
