As her husband, I would rather she didn't have a utilitarian incentive to either stay married or divorce. I should probably figure out some set of promises about how I would spend money in the event of a divorce so that the expected impact is closer to neutral from a utilitarian viewpoint.

All relationships are full of game theory. Be happy you have one that's more honest about that than most.
