That is in the nature of things, as poor men love their wives more than rich men do.

Women reflect romantic passion. It doesn't arise from us, originally. If we want to experience it, we have to go to men capable of generating it, and those are men who have nothing truly valuable (yet), other than us.

Uriah loved Bathsheba more than David did.

And that is why Bathsheba only cries when Uriah dies, but not when David does.
