It's more that Hera cannot physically hurt Zeus. He is too powerful. Besides, the one time she does go against him directly in mythology (the plan to overthrow Zeus), he hung her over the void with chains, threatening every day to let her drop. She was only released because Hephaestus helped her, not because Zeus changed his mind.
