There is an underlying assumption that the wife would automatically take the views, positions, beliefs of the husband.

The wife is not subordinate to the husband.  The husband is not the head of the house.  The husband's agenda does not mean that the wife must repress her own beliefs, aspirations and ideas, her own goals and adopt the spouse's.

The husband's agenda does not supersede the wife's.  

Automatically assigning one person's agenda is to another as if they are not equal individuals devalues that person whose thoughts, beliefs, opinions are discounted.    Assuming that in a marriage automatically the male should have more power and dominate the female is also implied in many of these articles.  I think no one is challenging it because they cannot even see it.  They cannot see it because sexism is alive and well in America.

One needs to separate out that Hillary and Bill are two different people and while one can make a few assumptions because they are long term life partners, I think assigning Bill policy to Hillary just is not fair and not accurate.  Writers are making assumptions that Hillary is Bill in almost every policy area,  instead of researching and reading her policy positions, her statements and her voting record.

Hillary is a person in her own right, probably smarter (except in love) than Bill and has her own political career.  Assuming she is some sort of supplement to Bill is frankly sexist.

Back to global labor arbitrage and corporate controlled manipulation of domestic labor markets, if either one of them would co-sponsor, champion these bills:

S.1035 : H-1B and L-1 Visa Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 2007 (Durbin-Grassley)

H.R.2538 : To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide greater protections to domestic and foreign workers under the H-1B nonimmigrant worker program. (Pascrell)

H.R.2504 : To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act with respect to the admission of L-1 intra-company transferee nonimmigrants. (DeLauro)

H.R.548 : To establish a Congressional Trade Office (DeFazio)

I would immediately volunteer and work for that campaign.
