A spouse should prefer that you signal unconditional commitment to the marriage rather than conditional commitment. Wife bonuses signal conditional commitment. That's why people find them distasteful. (For rich people, of course, they countersignal "you get so much from marrying me that I don't need to commit unconditionally in order to keep you".)
