Managing jealousy

My wife has a bit of a jealousy issue and I'm doing my best to be gracious.

I have a job that I enjoy, pays well and gives me a 4 day week.

My wife on the other hand, has a job that she's not that bothered about, pays well but is 5 days a week.

My Friday off I generally do something to get out of the house (I work remotely), golf, cinema, a hike, lunch. Her jealousy stems from wanting to spend time with me doing the things I do on my Friday.

I'm generally back home for the kids coming in from school and try to make dinner on that day but there's a continual undercurrent.

Outside of us both praying, I don't know how to manage it. I shouldn't be made to feel guilty about my work.
