I get the fact that some men seek a trophy wife to show off to everyone, but could the same be true for Mormon women? The difference obviously is that men seeking the trophy is basing it on looks, but are the Mormon women basing it on the man's outward appearance of obedience and spirituality?
I personally have experienced this in my own marriage. My DW cries during every sacrament talk. She gets starry eyed and beaming when the men in leadership callings stand up and spout out about how amazing they are spiritually. Usually the man that can cry at will during his talk gets the most points. I've had many a leadership callings and in my TBM days I knew that if I could get my talk to resonate with the women, my wife would be so proud of me. Now that I don't believe anymore, I am an embarrassment to my DW and she can't even bring herself to spend any time with me. It is all devoted to rearing the kids in the kingdom. Having any kind of emotional relationship is a lost cause unless I am willing to put off the natural man and return to the fold. I thought love was about the person, not their personal beliefs. Trophy husband - I guess I had a good run.
