Trophy Wife

There is an expression, "trophy wife". It usually refers to a woman (usually a second wife) whose husband pampers her. All she needs to do is look young and beautiful. She is a trophy that he has won after he has made it in the business world. Trophy wives are perfectly coiffed and wear stylish clothes. They do not have to be intelligent. They only need to look good enough to have other men be jealous. This kind of trophy wife is for the rich. Most people never focus on the other type of trophy wife. She is the one that deserves a trophy for putting up with her husband and not beating him to death. She cooks, cleans, takes care of the kids and carpools endless hours. She usually does not complain as it would fall on deaf ears. She is a smart woman who knows how to run things. She is the real trophy.
