And the same for the father if he loves his wife more than he loves his children? Why or why not?Do you think its wrong that a mother loves her husband more than she loves her children?
They are different kinds of love so in that respect it's not comparable. I love my husband in the ';best friend, want to grow old with him kind of love'; and for my children it's ';protective, can't wait to see all they accomplish'; kind of love. You expect your children to leave at some point, you hope your spouse never does.Do you think its wrong that a mother loves her husband more than she loves her children?
The two kinds of love are not the same. But if one spouse is willing to do anything to stay with the other, including abandoning the children or murdering them (these things do happen), then the couples are in what is called a co-dependent relationship. This is rigid and neurotic at best. Parents have a moral responsibility to do their best by their children. I can forgive parents who give up difficult children (by this I mean children suffering from conditions that demand a lot of care and which provide little emotional feedback). Not everyone can handle that level of responsibility. And parents do need to get away from their children for a couple of days here and there to re-establish their intimacy. Mature spouses can love each other quite passionately but love their children very well too.
I think it is a bit difficult to say, because I regard the type of love you have for your spouse, and the type you have for your children, as quite different. You don't love them in the same way.
I do think though that it is a biological instinct to put the welfare of your children first if it comes to the crunch, because we are programmed by nature to want our children to survive. It's simply the survival of the species which is what we are programmed to desire.
It's not wrong.. Think of it this way. The mother and father are the foundation of the house hold. If the child is loved more than the other spouse the house hold might turn into chaos.. a divorce? Plus children are a fruit that comes from marriage.. %26amp; when the children leave they can prosper more if they aren't as attached to the parent.. If they don't feel like they have to be with mommy and daddy every waking moment. And in the end it's just you and who you married. It benefits more to know who you married more than your children seeing that you've known them longer.
Yes I do, at least while they are growing up. An adult is neither helpless nor totally dependent on their spouse, a child, especially a very young one, is both of those on their parents. A person who would put their spouse above their child is ignoring the obligation they assumed by becoming a parent in the first place, what happens if the spouse abuses or endangers the child? A wife can leave an abusive husband but the child usually has no where to turn.
Spouse%26gt;children%26gt;extended family%26gt;friends.
Spouse comes before children unless spouse is abusive.
Just because you're closer to your spouse, that doesn't mean you don't love your kids. Also, you can damage a kid by being too close to them. It's called emotional incest.
As long as the mother doesn't express this feeling openly to the point where her children feel unloved, then no, it is not wrong. The children are, in fact, a result of the mother's love for her husband. It was a love so powerful that it created life.
Yes.
A marriage or relationship between two people is something that needs input from both parties, you need to constantly work on it and can change all the time.
The love for your child is something that should be built into you and unconditional.
Just my opinion.
why would you necessarily love your husband more when your children are the creations of him and you?
the love you have for your children and the love you have for your husband/wife is different.
it shouldn't be a contest between the two.
No
IMO your wife/husband should always come first, because they're someone who you created a sacred bond with in a marriage...
Parrent should love and care for their children no doubt, but they should never be put above or before your wife/husband.
That's how its supposed to be..Those kids are going to grow up and have there own lives.. and then its going to be just you and him again. Of course you love your children though.
A better question which should be asked is ';Is it wrong that Eoghan's Chick loves Mr. Perfect more than she loves Eoghan?';
