The Compute procedure in SPSS allows you to create new variables based on mathematical operations and functions applied to existing variables. In this case, the new variable would be the difference between the husband's age and the wife's age, which can be calculated using the Compute procedure. Recode, Scale, and Split File procedures are not appropriate for this task.
