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.

I also immediately thought of depression. I suffer from depression, as well, and I know somedays it seems a feat to even get out of bed in the morning. I am generally a very busy and successful person, but depression makes me VERY lazy and whiny and like onesnowy said...I ignore my health and appearance.
Remember to keep communicating with your wife, and if the "laziness" continues, make sure you ask her what's up. I'm sure she could benefit from counselling.

I came home today to find laundry done, vacuuming of floors & furniture done! After picking my jaw up from the floor, I thanked her very much.
She did ask why her mother and I are always surprised when she does housework. I chose to ignore that one.

Woops, I guess I didn't read this update.
