I'm not sure I would follow your wife's suggestion. Nice of her to be concerned, though!
We have a similar problem up here in Canada in the winter -- going from the cold outdoors after a photo outing into the warm, relatively humid house.
A common precaution is to allow the camera + lens(es) to acclimatize to the new environment while in a sealed enclosure. I use large zippered freezer bags and let the gear sit for 30-60 minutes to warm up. Sometimes I keep the gear in my camera bag (its padding offers a bit of insulation so the contents don't warm up too quickly).
