Have you ever thought that she might suffer from depression?
That is one of my biggest symptoms of depression--no desire to better my living situation either by cleaning my home, caring for myself in more than the basic ways, and I largely ignore my personal business/pestering from other people to improve myself.
It might be something she's always had and so she's never really thought about it as being out of the ordinary, and neither have you, but that kind of laziness is abnormal. Counseling, a visit to the doctor--all of these things may be in order--counseling especially since this seems to be putting quite a strain on your marriage.
