I think it all depends on the length of a marriage. You really think a man who has only been married for a few months is going to ignore his wife?? NO, cause then he loses his chance of the sexes. Besides the fact that all men treat their woman best in the beginning of the relationship, proven fact. Now a man who has been married for quite some time yes, may most likely ignore his wife and not think of her the same way he did years before.
In any event I think you are correct.
