Friend,
I sympathise with your situation, truly.
Women nowdays will be nice as sunshine as long as they feel drawn to you on an emotive level, such as "love", "infatuation" or just carnal desire.
As soon as the constant stream of stimuli passes/wears off, they revert back to being uppity and disobedient, malicious, devious and vindictive creatures.
However you failed to give us key informations about yourself and more importantly your wife.
How is she both physically and mentally? How emotional and stupid is she exactly?
What kind of Man are you?
What exactly did you do to let your wife of all people think she has some kind of authority over you or the household? This is very worrying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having said that, I will give you some universal tips on how to save some face and regain a shred of dignity.
In better times, you would be the laughing stock of your village, and your wife probably already found "accidentally" dead in the outskirts, or burned by a righteous mob as a witch&demon, but alas, these are the times.
Secular laws prevent us to treat women properly even in case of disobedience.
So, what you can do is indirectly show your strength: both of will and body.
So that she will unconsciously (or even consciously if she's smart enough) gain a bit of respect or better yet fear you, as prescribed in the Holy Bible itself.
1)As far as the physical goes, she should know just how much stronger than her you are.
If you possess superhuman/exceptional strength you can probably skip this part, as these things come to you effortlessly.
Women are obsessed with bodily contact and will try to touch you, hug you, etc.
When that happens, instead of passively and viscidly letting her lead you, control the situation and utilise the occasion to indirectly display strength.
Example A: she approaches you for a hug. Instead of immediately letting her hug you or huggin back, put your hands laterally on her chest and keep her at a distance. Apply a tiny bit of pressure and keep your arms firm.
She will both be denied a caprice and perceive just how easy it would be for you to crush her torax as a tin can.
After a tiny bit, do not let go, but you drag her toward yourself and you hug her firmly.
Example B:Womyns like to hold hands for some reason. When she tries to (or you decide it's opportune to do so) you do not let your hand flabbily rest into hers like a homogαy or a women itself, but instead tighten the grip a bit, much less than you would during a handshake with another man (I'm assuming you know how to properly shake hands... do you?); but enough she can feel your iron-tight grip able to snap a person's trachea in two if you wished.
Example C:When she stands in your way nagging about some BS, or even tries to assume a dominant posture trying to scold you, you do not become hysterical like a child or actually listen to her. Instead you just toss her out of the way effortlessly and proceed to do whatever you were gonna do before.
Only then, you ask her what the devil she wanted in the first place.
Example D: If you are very strong, you can just show it by doing stuff, such as lifting heavy objects effortlessly, moving cars with the engine off, throwing around big logs in your back yard/woods, accidentally breaking things, killing animals with your bare hands, and so on.
I think that's enough examples.
IMPORTANT:
If she is quite intelligent, this approach is still effective.
In fact, she might be able to understand the situation in M.A.D./Game Theory terms:
If she wanted to hurt you, she could do nothing to do, while the assured retaliation would potentially, nay, surely, be potentially deadly.
If you wanted to hurt her (God forbid!!! You have to be nothing but gentle to her), you could effortlessly kill her, probably with less effort than a chicken or rabbit.

2)Strength of Will is fundamental when dealing with modern wymens.
If you show yourself to be malleable, they will try to (consciously or not) exploit and change you for the worse.
Both using their female lures and in some cases (may be yours?) using verbal abuse.
You have to make clear, indirectly you only do what she asks out of kindness and on your own terms.
Example A: She wants to go to some BS place or something, and being insistent about it, without any reason (they often become distracted and fixated like that). DO NOT budge, or only after you make her understand the exact situation. You can also agree but on a different day (she will either lose interest in the BS, or at least understand she can't boss you around).
Example B: She's set into doing something at all costs, or, God forbid, being right about some argument.
Regardless of the details, just ignore her and let her stew.
After a while, and possibly when her idea already went to heck, you can bring it up again if you want.
Example C: Well, not an example actually, but do not be fooled: you do not need to treat her badly. In fact you have to be very gentle, forgiving and courteous to her at all times.
Standing your ground does not mean avoiding doing nice things to her, or favours, or letting her know she also can rely on you.
Or listening when she's hurt or in need of a companion, or offering to fix something for her yourself, etc. etc.
It's a combination of things, hopefully resulting in a nice medium and a well behaved relationship.
Cue to an avalanche of downvotes from the feminαzι old hag lieberal ladies brigade, as usual.
