I sympathize with your position, but you can't "heal" rot. You have to cut it out or burn it out.

I believe it was a better writer than Ayn Rand who said, “All things in moderation...”.
“Like anything, there must be moderation.”
Really. So your ideal wife would be one who is moderately sober, moderately faithful, and moderatly honest.
In terms of principles, only absolute adherence is virtue. Either you believe in individual freedom totally, or you believe some level of slavery is acceptable, for example.
