My problem was the getting status for the first time. DW didn't believe what I was telling her about the J seats.
I flew the entire family from CLT-DFW in F and then from DFW-FRA in J. A month later DW flew a TATL and I upgraded her to J RT. Paid cheap Y, upgraded with SWUs.
She has now drank the kool-aid and is looking forward to an award RTW in J.

Bottom line: this is a healthy obsession. Good for my marriage. ^
