Is there a gender issue at play here?
I don't mention my family in my social media bio at all (I can't even remember what they say, I think not much). But I feel like I've seen a lot of bios from women that highlight their kids (and sometimes, yes, their religious affiliation and pets) but don't necessarily mention their husbands. The mom thing in particular is big. A lot of women count motherhood as their central identity, so it wouldn't be that weird to me for them to mention their kids but not their spouse. And while I wouldn't do any of this, I kind of get it -- being a parent is all consuming in a way that being a spouse is not (and shouldn't be). I love my DH but I don't spend every day all day working for his benefit. But there are absolutely times in my life when I've done that for my kids (especially when they were babies/toddlers).
I don't know. I guess it would just depend on other factors. I don't think it's a big deal but I could also understand if it bothers you OP. Especially if it feels like he might neglect you in other ways. I probably prioritize my kids over my spouse, but I still prioritize my spouse. It's just the kids mostly need more of me whereas my spouse is more of a partner and friend and doesn't demand as much of me.

I think the dad dog part is the worst of it. He prob feels like you’re included in the father of 4 part. I wouldn’t sweat it aside from the cheese factor which would not fly with me.

I would be so turned off if DH ever put anything like that on his profile. What a weirdo.

For the record, I don't regularly check social media mine or his, but just happened to check today, and noticed this.
You're married to a nut.

Yes, I would be upset.
Shouldn’t you be proud of your spouse??

+1
OP, did your wife write that she's in a relationship...with Jesus? It sounds serious.

I’m happily married and I’ve actually never even looked at my spouse’s social media profile.

People are way too obsessed with social media.
