In my current game, which has gone on about 15 years or so, the wife I chose was older, without me giving thought to it (yeah, no children sucks). I've had her lead parties a couple times, but not often. She was a governor in one of my towns for a while. But mostly she's just served as a party member. For some reason she hasn't died in the 14 years we've been married. She is now age 63. I'm curious if anyone else has/had a wife older.
I don't try to get my wife killed to get another, for her supplies, or because of lack of kids or anything. I also don't strip them of their equipment for my use unless they die. But usually they don't last long either. One time I had a wife that didn't last 10 minutes before dying. Although Nathanos is also still alive, both of my younger siblings only lasted a year or two once they came of age before dying.
