How about "my spousal unit"?

I have a simple question:

Why do some of you refer to your spouses as "the wife"?! It makes it = sound
like you don't feel any attachment to her at all.

Also, why was it "the wife's flowers"? Don't you live in that house = too?

Just curious, sometimes I wonder why people get married in the first = place.
Peer pressure maybe? Maybe some men and women get married because they = want
to fit in, not because they really care about each other for the long = term.
Never mind the vows...

Nobody seems to have picked up on this.

I am a man, and I never refer to my wife as "the wife." It is disrespectful.
