My wife is very busy with her career. How can a husband discuss this?

Start by appreciating her efforts first, then state the family's needs calmly. Many wives work hard for the family too, so avoid an accusing tone. Choose a time when neither of you is tired, and open with a gentle sentence, for example: ‘I appreciate your effort; can we find a more balanced schedule?’ Listen to her views on her ambitions and work pressures before you draw conclusions. Find a solution together, whether sharing household tasks, asking relatives for help, or setting one special night for the family. Avoid giving ultimatums when angry, because decisions made in anger rarely last. See communication & emotions.
