If you tire of your house you can probably sell it. Depending on how long ago you purchased it you might even make a tidy profit. Never heard of anyone who was able to sell their wife for the same profit.
After owning a house for twenty years, socially it’s perfectly acceptable to trade up to a nice new model. On the other hand, if you trade your wife for a nice new model after twenty years at least half he population will look at you with daggers in their eyes.
