The Shulchan Aruch (OC 243:17) says that some hold if you make early Shabbos you can ask your friend who has not yet been mekabel Shabbos to do melacha for you. Rav Moshe Feinstein paskens (IM OC 3:38) that although man’s wife does not need to be mekabel Shabbos when her husband does, nevertheless she should not do any melacha for him, since her work is owned by him it falls under the issur of “L’Maan Yanuach”.

If you look at the teshuvah, you we see that he said “it is proper to be machmir”. See for yourself, and ask a Rov.
