Well, I hope you don't mind a wife replying, but I think this is the kind of advice you need. It sounds to me like your wife is looking for more emotional support. It's not all the cleaning and stuff you do (although that is really great) that she's wanting. Tell her what you just told us, that you would do anything for her. She probably wants more romance. Maybe time without the kids.
Try just spending time with her, maybe after the kids are in bed. Look into her eyes and profess your love. You could even go so far as to ask her what it is you can do for her. Call her at work to say you love her. Give her flowers for no reason.
As a wife, I can tell you, I really appreciate all the work my husband does. He works for our family, he helps take care of the kids, cooking and cleaning. I appreciate all that. But, I would LOVE more romance in our lives.
