I had to think about this for a bit. First off I had 4 DM's in my career and never met any of their wives. I also had at least 9 center manager's and only met one of the wives. When it comes down to it it appears upper management don't want their wives associating with the peons. We used to have safe driving parties where the center manager, DM and a few other suits would show up for the free meal we had earned. They never brought their wives so I assume they were out on the town looking for love in all the wrong places or maybe even hooking up together.
