My female friends with attractive husbands are seemingly always unhappy and convinced they're straying or taking affront to women flirting with their spouses. (Not their husbands flirting. Not with the flirtatious women but with their husbands.)

I'm glad no wife of mine will ever have to deal with that...I'm a solid 5. I'm everybody's definition of "meh" in the looks department.

The article suggests that husband attractiveness has no impact on marital satisfaction...I'm skeptical for the reasons above.
