If you read the New York Times article it refers to, you can see it's about a specific type of dude talking this way, not just any guys talking lovingly about their wives. It's more of an influencer sort of thing. I can see it being kinda weird.
From that article:
"A wife guy is not embarrassing because he is overly devoted to his wife, the sexist idea that used to be called “being whipped” and is now more fashionably referred to as “being a ****.” He is worthy of suspicion because he appears to be using his devotion to his wife for personal gain. Tripp has made a brand for himself off his wife’s body, not his own. He has leveraged it into Instagram brand deals for natural shaving creams and Dunkin’-themed sneakers; in his music video, he raps as his wife dances mutely in a swimsuit. He has taken a rather sexist tradition — of men gaining social status through the physical appearance of their wives — and pitched it as a newly enlightened stance."
So if you think that's ok for a man to do or are a wife ok with it, or if you're not, etc. talk about it in reference to this idea of profiting off being a great husband or great wife as presented through social media posts.
Otherwise it's a bit disingenuous to paint it as any instance that a dude is saying good things about his wife, since that was not what the author was talking about.

Yup......hard to get asked out when you have purple hair and are 80 pounds overweight. Feminists are the punchline to a joke. No one really takes them seriously.

And are angry, envious, and hate men. Half the Lesbians are ugly Man Haters that gave up.
Is there anything feminists AREN'T outraged about?
It's gotta be exhausting being that angry every second of every day. And then there's one day where there isn't anything to be angry about .. so they go looking for something to be angry about.
Some people aren't happy unless they're miserable.
