How should I answer that question? My wife is a doctor and I don't want to tell people that for several reasons. My answer now is very vague but I will be moving to a much smaller community and being vague won't really work anymore. Any suggestions.
You could say that she is very new age and facilitates other people's well being!
Or how about: she goes out in the morning, I don't really know where, so that I can play with my balloons, and around tea time, she comes back ;)

You could just say she works for the NHS. When people ask me what my other job is I say I work for the council rather than saying I'm a social worker!
My wife is just a few classes shy of being a lawyer. When people ask (rarely) I tell them straight. It does not bother me a bit. I make a comparable income doing something I find easy and enjoyable while having plenty of free time with our daughter. What more could a guy want?

Nice! My wife is a doctor and almost finished with residency. The problem with telling people that she is a doctor is that 1 in 5 doctors in the US will be sued for a non-medical reason, either by strangers or "friends". A lawyer friend recommended that I not advertise what my wife does for just that reason. So I need something witty to say.
Tell them this... It works for me...
Work is a Place she goes.... Not a thing she does....
You could say that she's a scientist which is quite vague but also sort of true,
