The Challenge of A Hot Wife

hot Christian woman marry guys for their "potential" only to find herself disappointed his lack of ambition in realizing it

So, so true. That, or they marry him for alleged spiritual maturity because of positional leadership titles (pastor, elder, etc.) thinking that'll make him a great husband, only to find the opposite.

"somehow I convinced her to marry a scrub like me!" as if it were something to brag about

They're bragging about how humble they are. I hate it when guys do this. Also, when I was dating my wife (granted, a decade ago), I once made a comment like this and she immediately shut that up, saying it would be embarrassing to her if other people perceived her as dating beneath her. Girls don't like it when their guys say things like it, and guys look like wusses when they do it.

Having a top tier SMV wife means that not only Chad, but Chadzilla, is your competition.

So true. It rings true for being a top-tier guy too, though ;)

mate guarding ... you legitimize the threat as credible in her eyes

This is wise.

That's the word that got your post removed initially, fyi.

Overall, great post. Thanks for sharing this! I'm married to what I'd call an 8.5. I've definitely seen a lot of this happen at different times in our marriage. When you say, "error if we assume that just by virtue of her faith such a Christian wife is immune" - I completely agree. I've seen this happen too many times in my job (one even went lesbian for a time, after her husband cheated on her with a little boy - church drama at its worst!). But couple that with a borderline sexually repressive psychosis from the anti-sexuality agenda some Christians are raised in ... and that's pretty much a guarantee she's not gonna cheat ;p Fortunately, I've made some solid progress over the years. Still working at that one, though.
