I often hear it from people that no matter how much happily married you are and however much in luv, when it comes to preference your spouse would always prefer their (and yours) children over you. And it’s cuz they are related by blood and the spouse is not.
Is that true? Do you guys feel that difference?
All i know is whether it be blood or not, your family is always and wl always be the most important thing to you no matter how much you guys fight n all. And no matter how many great friends you have, they can never replace family. I am not sure about how it is when you get married cuz i am not married. Hence would like to hear what the married people have to say.
Maham , its not true ... a spouse plays such an important role .. clearly if the couple is breaking away then for both of them their kids take priority over each other ... but in a healthy relationship, it doesnt matter if there is a blood relation between the couple or not , but eventually both will find it very very hard to choose children over spouse or the other way round ... Blood relation really doesnt have anything to do with love ....
If you love your spouse and are happily married then there wouldn't be any question about who you 'love more.' He/she is your significant other, and the children are a product of both of you.
There is a very different relationship between off-spring and a spouse. They can not be compared and most definitely do not replace each other. A child grows up infront of your eyes. You are there to provide everything for them. That creates a very different bond.
A spouse is your equal your partner for life. Not someone who is completely dependant on you for a good 10 to 18 years.

Your children will leave the nest one day and you'll be left with your spouse only.
I know eh. Even then i see couples have extreeme fights over kids n in the end the kids leave n the couple is left alone with each other n i wonder how that must feel?!.
You can not not love creations more than creator ...its just not natural although you might show more affection towards the creation but love for creator never goes away :)
now if u were to say, a spouse + their children VS their family (ie. parents, siblings, nephews and nieces etc)....then i'd say unfortunately u hear about alot of those who seem to place more emphasis on the latter. Keep in mind i am not being gender specific here...both men and women can be guilty of this.
