Retire now and let husband get me to fire?

Couple 38 (me) and 35 years old, no kids.
Annual Expenses projected in retirement: $239k
Paid off house $800k worth
Invested assets+cash: $6.5M

I love my job but I have had hypermobility related health issues for years that might benefit from retiring or taking a break from my desk job and work stress. I have a good set of hobbies and good social circle. I don't think I will have trouble keeping myself occupied with fitness, community and hobbies but I might miss the intellectual stimulation and deep engagement that my work offers.

If you were me, would you retire from my $1M+ a year job? Husband makes $500k a year and wants to work for 5 more years and get us to FIRE.

I love my job but I have had TMJ/upper back/hypermobility issues for years that might benefit from retiring from my desk job.

If you were me, would you retire from my $1M+ a year job and let my husband get me to fire? (Husband makes $500k a year and is ok with this).
