A wife to a German Officer?

Whatever it is, very nice, I have a german pre-WW2 dagger i picked up a couple of years ago that was a Christmas gift to a graduating polizie officer
A German wife, out of the kitchen, what kind of crazy talk is that?

Seriously though, "Meinem lieben..." means "my dear"

"My beloved" is "meinem geliebten".

There's also beliebt, which is everyone's favorite, could be a car, could be a spa, could be a tune.
