I think most of us with "vertically challenged spouses" (no partiality to gender) find the top cabinets difficult to reach. I'm 6'2" and there are some cabinets in our "mid height Cougar" that pose a challenge to me.
We bought a folding step stool that is easy to pick up with the middle hand hole and it automatically folds flat. It's easy to store in a lower cabinet or to slip behind the sofa.
If you decide to try this "solution" be sure to purchase a folding step stool that has "angled sides" (larger at the bottom than at the top). There are some square ones on the market and they tend to "tip over if you aren't balanced in the center" so using one of them might lead to a nasty fall if you're not careful !!!!!
