First, you sound like a terrific guy! You have accomplished much. It's just awful you don't have an equally motivated wife.

Although I don't have any personal experience in this area, I'll take a shot at it. When you mentioned her sister was the same way or even worse, that's a flag to me. Perhaps there is something from their childhood that's causing problems. Is her sister married? How does her sister's husband deal with all of the issues? I was thinking you might could talk to your broth-in-law for moral support, if the two of you are close enough. In addition, I think your wife would be well served by counseling. Since she is so unmotivated, she probably won't last at that either. So to keep her motivated you might try going as a couple and see where that takes you.

Good Luck!
