And of course there’s the famous joke:
When a husband goes missing, the wife is an agunah. When he’s not missing, the husband is an agun.
On a serious note, though, bnei Torah should always have hakares hatov to bnos Yisroel, and the best way to show that is for bnei Torah to express it directly to their wives, mothers, etc. and to hold up their end of the bargain in the beis.
