if you were some mythical combination of Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, and Jesus Christ, perhaps you could redeem a fairly self-centered wife.
The irony of this list is that (as I understand it) King was unfaithful to his wife and Gandhi refused to have sex with his wife while frequently sleeping in the arms of beautiful younger women to prove to himself he could resist temptation and Jesus never married at all.
Men who are deemed to be heroes/men of great character in the eyes of society don't necessarily make wonderful spouses.
(Not at all meant to disagree with your basic point.)
