one's wife The origin is from ancient prisoner restraint methods -- [approximately] around the late middle ages, prisoners wore a heavy metal ball attached by a chain on their legs, to prevent them from making a run for their freedom (or at least, that is the way medieval prisoners are often depicted in modern [popular culture]). The allusion is that one's wife will not let one go anywhere (mostly meant as "go out", rather than "run away from her"), much like the [ball and chain].
