The great worth of nicer spouses (12)
I believe the answer is:
preciousness
'the great worth' is the definition.
'preciousness' can be an answer for 'worth' (preciousness is a kind of worth). I am unsure of the 'the great' bit.
'of nicer spouses' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'nicer'+'spouses'='nicerspouses'
'nicerspouses' anagrammed gives 'PRECIOUSNESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
