Who the hell thought it'd be a good idea for the two more senior personnel to be the ones to take on the entities?
Yes! Exactly! And IIRC, Sheppard's willingness to do this aside (and I personally think is was completely out of character for him, considering he'd already had Wraith messing in his head and is an extremely emotionally private person in general), how could McKay have let it happen, let alone Caldwell? Surely some good-looking grunt would've been able to host the supposedly loving husband just fine. Even Lorne would've been a saner choice. It was just so incredibly stupid of all of them.
I think that someone, somewhere, suggested that Sheppard volunteered because he's a closet romantic. I'm sure the Sheppard/Weir shippers said it was because he wanted to have a plausible reason to kiss her. At least either of those reasons were, well, reasons, as opposed to the complete lack of explanation we got on the show.
