From reading this whole thing I get the feeling that the marriage is on the rocks already. If you don't like spending time together, you are really going to hate doing business with each other. Now I don't know how much $20k is to you. Is it most of your savings, a little, half? How is your marriage going? Do you see complications in the future that are making you think about getting repaid or splitting shares of your rentals?
If there is any inkling of a breakup, I would say forget giving the money to her. And I mean giving, not investing or loaning. This can only go 2 ways. No money or a gift. There is no in-between. This is a lump sum deal and get out of the way. Let her spend it on her SL550 and don't say a thing.
There is also no "extra" money, you can't give this to her and have her come back in 6 months for another $5k.
The one other side is... if you gave her $20k and her business makes $2m, will you feel any animosity towards her that you aren't getting a cut even after she gives you back your original $20k?
