There are multiple possible variables and thus perspectives or conclusions. If the wife let herself go - stopped exercising, gained a lot of weight, didn’t fix herself up or bathe daily etc, then it would be ridiculous for her to blame her husband for stating what is practically objective truth.

However, if the husband has sky-high unrealistic expectations and no matter how much she hits the gymn, keeps fit, fixes herself up, etc - it’s never good enough, then it is a weakness of her husband’s.

Based on my experience, there are pros and cons... marry someone who’s accepting but maybe oblivious generally - or someone highly conscientious but perfectionistically critical. I’m sure there are some in between, and some who are both oblivious and critical... & others who are consciencious and accepting of imperfection. Nobody’s perfect - inside or out.

Wise counsel from a penguin sage. The church must always get what it is due.
"Religion is about providing human community in the guise of solving problems that don’t exist or failing to solve problems that do and seeking to reconcile these contradictions and conceal the failures in bogus explanations otherwise known as theology." - Kishkumen

According to the Bible, Jesus was nothing special to look at --- totally unlike the super muscular handsome model Mormons like to paint/contrive of all their superheros.
