So if "youth and beauty" are women's resources then marriage has "used" up her resources. She gave you the thing you valued about her. Youth is not renewable, arguably from your POV, neither is beauty because as she gets older she will have less and less of it.
She has your children, arguably, it makes her less likely to be able to find a suitable replacement partner. If the bulk of her time and energy goes into raising those children, she has less time and opportunity to "re-partner" and then many men aren't keen on the idea of an instant family. Maybe the trade off wasn't as one sided as you feel it is.
