Jason, I think you made a very wise and healthy choice!
An active lifestyle is by far the more important thing to stay focussed on than gaining a few more inches of hair -- and I speak from experience, in that I'm guilty of gradually NOT being as physically active as I used to be back during my 30s (or even into my 40s)...
It is so much easier to STAY active than it is to try to "regain" physical fitness after a significant lapse, and as much as I enjoy and encourage others to grow their hair out as long as they can and wish to, a healthy lifestyle is more important than a particular hair-length style.
Also, even though I'm still enjoying my own hair being at terminal length, I find myself getting oddly jealous at times whenever I see a nice-looking medium length hairstyle that allows the hair to be loose (instead of always being tied back, braided, or in a bun as I currently tend to feel I have to do). Just yesterday, for example, at Trader Joe's I saw this guy with great looking shoulder-length hair, loose but styled very nicely, while unloading his shopping cart, tossing his hair back -- it looked downright AWESOME!! Meanwhile, although my mane is easily 3X the length of his, I had my hair all tied back into the ever-practical "man-bun"... so much for any tossing, in my case!
Anyway, just thought I'd contribute my $.02 into the replies here, for what it's worth. Honestly, I can completely understand and fully support your decision to ask you wife to trim off the 4 inches that she did, it's a decision that I also might someday myself make in that same direction as well; but for now, haven't yet....
My best to you!
