Is that right loving your wife/husband more than yourself?

I think you can not truly love a person if you don't love yourself first. It is like a glass overflowing with water. You have to fill yourself first, and the abundance of your love simply flow to other glasses - in which case to your husband, wife or any friends and family. Similarly, we do not say to our partners that they make us whole. It is not as if we are only half of a person and we only become whole if we have a partner. We are our own true selves, and by being with our husband or wife, we become one.

It is not a fault or 'sin' to love your husband or wife more than your self! It's just a feeling to be more romantic with your beloved partner!

i am not married. but i can tell you how i felt about my boyfriend. actually the one that i loved most. i had moments when i thought i loved him more than i love myself. and i felt may times this way even for my best friend. this is the greatest way to show someone that you love him. even if one day it might be possible that the feelings fade away.

Hi, well yes i have also heard this and at times the love reaches such bounds that we feel this way, but i wonder do our partners also feel the love we have for them? do they feel that we are loving and caring for them more than we are doing for our own seleves, i dont think so. But no i dont think it is always the case that we care so much for our spouse and not as much for ourseleves as somewhere or the other we do tend to get selfish and just think about ourselevs and our comforts and feelings and ignre or partnes.

Tough question but my honest answer is no. I love my KIDS more than myself and would do anything - even give up my life - for them. But as much as I love my husband, I also love and cherish ME. I don't think it is healthy to love a man (or woman) more than yourself. Ultimately, you are the one you will always end up with. If the partner leaves, what then? How would a person cope? If they don't love themselves and they lose the person they love most, it could be a pretty awful situation. As much as I love my husband, if he wanted to leave tomorrow, I would go on. Because I still have me. And I really am my own best friend. I know I'll never leave me! I think that to love a person intensely is fine but you always have to remember that, if you don't love you and take care of you, you aren't the best you can be and that short changes everyone.
