I didn't get the feeling that Christine was envious, but she was aware of the difference between their standards of living and worried that it made a difference to Isaac. I don't believe that any of this made any difference to Isaac; he truly loved Christine.

It is interesting that the wealth of Isaac's family could have potentially been the cause of jealousy of other families like Christine's yet they were interred because some thought they were less than human

I felt that both Christine and Isaac were so comfortable with who they were as people that they really did not have an issue with that. Perhaps because they both came from strong and loving families they were able to see beyond such things.
