Who do you love more... your spouse your children or yourself?

Question

Who do you love more... your spouse your children or yourself?

Answer 1

Children, Spouse, dog, self.

Answer 2

All different love. I love my children and would live and die for them. I love my husband as my soul mate and put trust and responsibility on him I would never my children. I love myself as well - I wouldn't let my husband abuse me for example.

Answer 3

Children, hands down.

Answer 4

It is all a different type of love

I love my husband as a lover, wife, and best friend should.

I love my children as a mother, teacher, and protector should

I love my parents as a child, student, and friend should

I love myself as a person who is worth love

I love god because with out him nothing is possible

As you can see I love different people in special and different ways.  To put a number or quantity to that love is impossible because love grows as it is needed. Hope this answers your question.

Answer 5

My children 100%

Answer 6

My kids yes i love my husband but I wanted children when we first got married and he made me wait and wait for 7 years, so I am so in love with my boys they are my life and I would die for them!

Answer 7

I love my husband and kids the same, their my family and i'd do anything for all of them!

Answer 8

spouse and kid the same

What did I get thumbs down for, I love them both more than anything in this world, they are my family! I couldn't say I love my child more than her dad, I just love them both to infinity!

Answer 9

my children for sure. Even though the love is different it's still the strongest bond and love I will ever have.

EDIT and people who love "the lord" more than their own children are just weird in my opinion.

Answer 10

Thats a ridiculous question!!! Of course you love your children more! What parent wouldn't??

Answer 11

Well, you can not compare the love for a spouse with the love for your children. They are entirely different kinds of love, as is the love you have for yourself.

EDIT** Chattymom** Don't you think you are being a bit harsh? Many, many people put HIM above all others......and to use the word "retarded"???...... I also put my husband and my marriage before my children. 24 years strong and counting........

Having a boy** actually MARRIAGE should always come before all things. If you do not have a solid, successful  and happy marriage you are failing your children and hurting them. Children need to see their parents, united with love and respect for each other in order to grow into happy, healthy and confident adults. My children are adored. They are happy and have always been well cared for. 3 are responsible, respectful college educated adults who love their parents to the ends of the Earth. One is 14 and still at home. You have no reason to feel sorry for them......LOL

Answer 12

I love my husband different than I love my children, but I definitely "PUT" him first.  I'm not sure a mother's love for her children and a wife's love for her husband (IF she's a good one) are even measure -able.  I know I can not compare the two.  All I can say is my husband is before my children.

I think the reason many people can not see why we would do this is because they do not have the same relationship with their spouse (if they even have one) as I do. Their relationships aren't built on trust and closeness, obviously. Another reason is because many parents have an almost "worship" type love for their children . I have this worship for God and I don't put my children above Him, either.

My husband and I are going to be married until the day one of us dies. There is absolutely NO question to that. I know this because God is the backbone to our marriage and HE never fails. He will keep our marriage as long as we allow him to and as long as we put Him first, and each other second ONLY to him..

I asked a similar question and got bashed for it, too.  Here's the link.

Answer 13

One loves everyone in their life,  love is NOT the same. There should be self love, love for a spouse, and love for children. One loves his/her pets, but not the same kind of love he/she has for their children. Love cannot be measured with a ruler, thermometer etc.............

Answer 14

All my love goes towards my family and then myself.

Answer 15

spouse

Answer 16

Very tough question all things considered. My wife, I am in love with very much, we have a happy marriage, and always do our best to make things work. The love I feel for my son, is completely different. Not the same at all. It is very hard to describe this kind of love, but I am sure all good parents feel the same way.

Answer 17

I definately love my kids more than my husband...I used to feel like I couldn't live without my husband and I was sooooooooooooo IN LOVE and then I had Jorge and Juliana and I was like...I'm married? LMAO!

Answer 18

I am still pregnant but I already adore my baby girl. I'd say I love my boyfriend just as much -he's an awesome man.... But I would do ANYTHING for my baby girl and the love I feel for her is unconditional. I love my bf but not the same way!

Answer 19

I think its too different types of love

but its u and ur parthner that have created this love and u will always share that bond ur parthner will understand u and fufil ur needs but together u will do what is best for ur kids so id say equally but different types of love

Answer 20

My kids, no question about it!

I love my husband and to love you have to love yourself, but my kids are my whole world.

Answer 21

My children.  I love my spouse, but I put my babies above him in everything.

Answer 22

my three kids.

Answer 23

I love the Lord first and foremost because through Him I have my salvation and without Him my family and myself would not exist.  I love my husband more than I love anyone else on this planet.  When my children are grown and leave the house he will still be here.  I'm not one that says husbands will come and go because my husband and I are committed until death parts us.  My children I love more than my own life and I love them with all my heart.  They are my flesh and blood and they are my joy.  I love myself last because I will put my family before myself.  Their needs are more important, but I still have self respect and you do have to love yoursef otherwise you can be an unlovable person.

Chattymom:  I'm sorry you feel that way, but if it wasn't for the Lord I would not have the family I have.  He has blessed me with that family and for that I owe Him my life.  I can see you have no understanding of that.  I don't see why you have to be continually rude to me when I don't do a thing to you.
